The wage isn ' t the concern since there is a minimum wage . The problem is more about hiring many part time workers rather than have full time workers . Not very nice to make sure x employee makes 1 less hour than necessary to have mandatory benefits . If the employee does his part of meeting quotas and being ontime to spend as many hours a week as he can to pay his bills and more , the employer should take care of the employee . Not make them do 34 . 5 hours not sure so they can dodge his healthcare bill if he breaks a leg and then put the pressure to make him comback ASAP . Also , there is a case where Wal Mart actually sued an employee for being injured and costing them productivity IIRC . <| sep |> Poppop popped pops pop !
