- tantalor 7y agoI think those only kick in if the number of employees is large enough. The article doesn't mention that detail so you may be right.
- kasey_junk 7y agoSB Nation is run by Vox Media.
- ars 7y agoExactly. But you don't list the actual problem: Those benefits are based on working certain number of hours (because the benefits are fixed, they can not adjust them up and down based on hours worked). So basically what this law does is prevent people or employers from having flexibility in hours.
- gregd 7y agoYou keep stating things that aren't true. Salaried employees negotiate and get benefits and isn't tied to "hours worked". There are lots of jobs now listing flexible hours as a benefit.
- fiter 7y agoI believe the poster you are replying to is referring to number of hours worked. Are you referring to when the hours are worked? There's a difference between 100 hours one month and 20 hours another month versus 8 hour block per day and four 2 hour blocks per day.
- s17n 7y agoPretty sure those requirements only apply to full time employees.
