Why does she work a 40 hour week and her employer gets to claim her as part-time? I’m curious as to who she is working for.
United Parcel Service does that.
Part-time “union” workers can work 40 hour plus weeks but are still considered part time. I worked there years ago as a part timer and would picked up extra work that was available at the facility. Anything over 25 hours a week was time and a half, so the extra work was nice come payday.
