Obamacare requires employers to offer insurance to any full time employees. Full time is 30 or more hours a week, so anon is saying his employer is deliberately cutting his hours to keep him under the point where they would have to help him with insurance.
Ah, so it’s that their employer won’t let them work more than 25 hours a week because much more than that and they’d have to pay up for health insurance too. Lovely stuff. I’ve a friend in MA who used to work for Target. Their modus operandi was to promote people and as they’ve worked longer (and get more expensive) they’d set them to train new staff and slowly phase them out.
The complete lack of worker’s rights in the U.S. is baffling.
It sounds like they’d lose their health insurance if they worked 40 hours though? Maybe I misunderstand, we don’t have health insurance where I live.
