Question

I have no hours next week on schedule and only got 12 this week I cant survive the week after if there is nothing i can do. the employer isnt giving me the hours even though it will leave me with no way to survive

im hired part time

Answer 1

did you get hired for part or full time?
ok then i have to go with everyone else
they are not required to give you any hours being part time try asking a supervisor for more hours or see if you can get someones hours that's not coming in to work

Answer 2

if you're a part-time employee, they don't have to give you any hours and will bring you in when needed. if you're not getting enough hours, you're probably not important to the company or might be doing a bad job and they can't find anyone better.

the problem at my last job though, was that there were just too many people working there because the dumb manager thought more customers would come in.

you need to find a 2nd part-time job or get some kind of training to find a good full-time job.

Answer 3

If you're so desperate to survive (what's with the dramatic nonsense?), why are you working part-time instead of full-time?

An employer is not required to give you any hours if they don't want to or they don't need to, as others have said. You're free to seek out another job or an actual full-time job. Seems to me that if you're looking to "survive" you need to get a better job and make it full-time versus part-time.

Answer 4

An employer is under no obligation to give you any set number of hours. If they are not giving you enough hours then you should look for another job.

Answer 5

The most an employer is alowed to give you is up to 40.. a week.. and beyond this u get your hourly pay + half of the hourly pay called bonus time.. it also depends on your age..
during school your alowed 25 hours a week...

I Hope this helps...

Answer 6

If you're full time-they have to give you 40 hours per week. If you're part-time there isn't a minimum amount.

Answer 7

0 hours
get in with the one that pays the best=God
this is how I as a Jew came to know Jesus personally

"Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the mighty God, and the prince of peace." Isaiah 9:6

the answer is still in the salvation of the soul-till then we are on the outside looking in. Revelation 22 "Do not add to my word or take from it or you will get plagues, and never find salvation."

this is how I got salvation-believing the Word of God="I love you, and ask you to repent of your sins (even one lie) quickly. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock if you hear my words and ask me in, I will come in and be your friend." Revelation 1:1=Jesus words spoken from heaven & 3:19&20

so i prayed "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."

Now Jesus is my Messiah, best friend, and savior, he comforts and keeps me, and His word has become the love letter of my life in Spirit and in truth.

Praying the best for you too in all of this, David

Answer 8

As far as I know you can only work a total of 40 hours a week and if you work longer then you are supposed to be paid for overtime.

Answer 9

There is no minimum. If you aren't getting enough hours, you need to look for another job. Look for one that's full-time - that's what most people need if they're trying to live on their pay.

Answer 10

They can give you what they want. Time to move on to something else! Maybe the lack of hours is based upon your job performance?
