By your logic no part-time hourly-wage work should ever exist.

  Oh, if the employer can provide a liveable income in 20 hours/week, I've got no problem with that! But yes, it simply shouldn't exist. Well, maybe we can allow an exemption based on age or legal dependency status for teenage kids earning extra money at a movie theater. In that case, though, the parents are basically subsidizing the movie theater.

    What if I have a spare 8 hours a week (say, Saturdays), and want to use them every week to earn some extra cash (at say $12 an hour, coming out to an extra $96 a week). Should I be prevented from doing this?

      Yes, because it results in employers "playing games" with the distinction between full-time and part-time to avoid having to give a living wage and benefits.
