Ok I will try and tell the story quickly… Here’s the deal… I went for training to become a Head Cashier, I am on the schedule 2-3 days out of the week as a Head Cashier. But I am not a Head Cashier according to my HR & I won’t be receiving a raise. Also, to top that off I am only PT, and was told they can’t give me full time. I asked for 3 days off now keep in mind I’m part time. They told me no because that week they needed me for 40 hours. So I am working 40 hours, 8 hours a day, Full Flex but they can’t give me FT. Why should I let them do this to me? What should I do? Should I quit? SHOULD I CHANGE MY AVAILABILITY SINCE Im NOT GETTING FULL TIME? SHOULD I TELL HIM NOT TO PUT ME ON THE SCHEDULE FOR HEAD CASHIER UNTIL I GET A RAISE?
To read my entire story… the unshortened version read my blog on the website below:

Please give me advice

I guess they expect you to provide the added responsibilities out of the goodness of your heart! Companies will screw you over if you let them! Even on the store level because the manager probably gets some sort of bonus depending on how well the store does. Another FT person will most likely cut into that bonus since you'd probably get more benefits along with guaranteed 40 hours weekly. Tell them that you will no longer provide coverage as head cashier since they have no intention of compensating you for the work. When your hours are reduced back to part time, find another job!!!

I've been in a similar situation. You need to talk to your boss about how you feel. Express that you don't want to take on extra responsibility (that the Head Cashier probably does) without some compensation for it. I'm a bit confused - they needed you for 40 hours that week and you asked for 3 days off for that same week and they said no? That happens sometimes - it's part of working. If they continuously do this to you, again talk to your boss about it.
Some places only consider their employees full-time if they consistently work 40 hrs/week. If you only do this on occassion then they can keep you as PT. Sorry, just the way it works. Talk to HR and get the employee handbook to see what they deem PT vs. FT status.
After you have looked into this and have talked to your boss/HR about your concerns and they continue to "use" you in a way you feel unjust, start looking elsewhere for a job. Be sure you have secured the new job before quitting this one.

Apply for work with other companies and be assured that you will be hired before quitting this one. Sounds like the company is taking advantage of you.
Is it possible that full time employees are supposed to receive additional benefits, such as health insurance or retirement? If so, then they are keeping you listed as part-time so that they can save money. Which is unfortunate.

part-time is less than (i think) 28 hours a week. Unless something is too your benifit tell them that you can not work the full-time hours (unless you want to of course). If they are not working with you start looking else where.
