- jawns 7y agoAre you working as an employee? Are you classified as a part-time or full-time? How does this affect your benefits? Dealing with a drop in pay is one thing, but I think a lot of people are worried about how it will affect how they qualify for things like health insurance coverage, vacation time, etc.
- itamarst 7y agoIn the US, for IRS purposes of "you must give health insurance or pay a penalty", full-time is 30 hours a week or more. (Specifically companies with >50 employees, IIRC). So as long as you're working 30 hours a week you should be getting health insurance same as the full-time employees. See https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/identifying-full-time-employees https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/identifyin... (Some health insurance plans in fact _require_ people to be >=30 hours a week to be included on it.)
