Bookmark These: Part-time problems
By

Many people have been pushed into part-time jobs during these hard times. Others prefer shorter hours. These sites explain many of the issues that workers face along with shorter hours.
PART-TIME PROBLEMS
An article from the Economic Policy Institute looks at "the continuing problems with part-time jobs." Even this pre-Great Recession study found that the rise in part-time employment posed serious problems, including spotty or nonexistent benefits, and diminishing opportunities for advancement. It is surprising, then, that the article proposes expanding part-time opportunities, and adding prorated benefits, as a means of solving the problems.

PART-TIME RIGHTS
Find out about your rights as a part-time worker here at the FindLaw site. One important thing to know is that, like an applicant for a full-time job, you may be able to negotiate many terms of your part-time employment during the hiring process. For example: Besides pay, what other benefits may be available to you, and at what cost to you, if any? Under what terms might your position become full-time? How would you be compensated if your hours go beyond the schedule you agree to?

PART-TIME OR FULL-TIME?
We wish the Department of Labor could do a more user-friendly job on the part of its site explaining part-time employment. But the subject is just too ... subjective. This page can't answer the question of how many hours constitute part-time work. "This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer," it says.

FULL-TIME MONEY?
A Good Housekeeping article profiles women who were making good money putting in part-time hours. Who knows how they've fared through the recession? But the many tips here could help you imagine new possibilities. One woman started a contractor-referral service after remodeling her home. One became a part-time professor. Another worked from home on commission, booking travel for clients. Each example comes with "smooth-transition" tips.
