This happened where I work. It so happens that I am part-time and receive no benefits. She works 3 days a week and gets holiday, vacation and sick time and I do not.
She used her full six weeks of maternity leave.

It shouldn't happen. Does she work 3 days in the office, and 2 from home? She may have come up with some sort of agreement with the company. My sister works 4 days at home on her computer and goes to work on Fridays for meetings and a weekly update with her boss. I'd ask benefit personnel if it really bothers you.

Are those 3 days 10 hour days? Some companies count full time at 30 hours. She could also be working from home some. Is she still accruing sick time or did she have it left over from before her maternity leave. I am sure they made some special arrangments.

Benefits, and salary as long as it's at least the minimum wage, are negotiable. So it's not illegal for a part-time employee to get benefits that other part-timers don't.
And the other responders are right, you don't necessarily have all the information about the situation.

I think it depends on the employer. You may not know the whole story. Perhaps she is using FMLA (family medical leave act) In some cases this would apply. She maybe working part time for a short length of time.

hi, you are able to request versatile working, and that they could desire to think approximately it (as in extremely evaluate it, fairly than finding at it as quickly as and making their strategies up without postpone away!). earlier you're making your request - think of regarding the positives and negatives of your request. What stable might it do your employers? What negatives will they arise with, which you would be able to deflect or propose procedures around? placed a case mutually (i.e. write somewhat an prolonged letter!) once you're making your request, fairly than in simple terms asking the question - in the event that they do say no, they could desire to furnish you the excuses why no longer, in writing. visit the voters advice Bureau and that they are able that can assist you write the request and then take care of the respond. in case you experience discriminated against, in simple terms because of the fact you asked area time, then advance this back with CAB and that they are able to point on the subsequent steps. It would not ease the subject, yet a minimum of you have backup from the CAB.

It's possible she negotiated to return to her position as a part-time employee for a specific period of time.
You have every right to contact the HR dept, but don't be surprised if you didn't have all the facts. You would hope the HR dept wouldn't share your personal situation with another employe..

are you angry because the company is treating her like a human being? does she have a lot more seniority than you? is she working from home or on projects you are unaware of?
Just console yourself that she returned from maternity leave, meaning she abandoned her baby to the stress of separation from mommy, a terrible terrible thing. See - she has bennies, but she's a bad mom. That's gotta make you feel better.

You won't be able to get benefits if you are part time.
