Please send any inof you have on this, as this my waht i need to get CRUCIAL hours back. I appreciate it so much

Re: Full time VS. Part Time
There is no law require such protocol. Perhaps you may have a case if you are under contract or represented by a union. In these rough economic times it is wonderful that your employer is seeking to keep most of his workers employer rather than making them join the ranks of the unemployed.
