Legal Question in Employment Law in California
fulltime vs part time
how legal is it for a company to give multiple benifits to full time workers and not the same benifits to the part time workers who does just as much work as the full timers?
This company I work for has a limited number of parking spaces and gives them out to only full time workers. When a new full time worker is hired they are provided with a parking spot upon the first day of hirement. Where as the part time workers who has been there way before the new hires are overlooked and only recongized as part timers with nothing coming.
Full timers are asked if they want to work overtime, while the part timers are denied to work overtime, even if the full timers don't want to work the overtime that is being offered.
This company also provides medical and dental benifits to the full time workers where as the part time workers has no benifits. We all know how unfair this practice is and some of us like to know is it this a legal practice.
What can we do to prevent us part time workers who works just as hard as full timers to be discriminated against?
please help
