Sweetcheripie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Is the 39 hour a week job going to increase your hours permanently or is it a seasonal thing? If they make it full time (40 hours) and not part time would that not be better than working two part time jobs? This may be a great opportunity in the long run?? Link to post Share on other sites

bogota Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Not sure what state you're in, but I'm pretty sure in California "full time" starts at 32 hours a week. The label "full time" also has different implications depending on which state you're in. If you work at least 3 months full time in CA and then get laid off, you're entitled to unemployment benefits. Link to post Share on other sites
