[quote=Anonymous]I work for an IT/consulting company and part time was amazing. First off, my scheudle was 28 hours a week. But, if I worked 34 hours, or 38 hours, or 40 hours, I got paid for those hours (not above 40, though). My benefits stayed at the prorated amount though (if I worked 80 hours a pay period, 16 over my schedule, I earned my parttime prorated 7 hours of leave, not 8, for example). I worked in a PMO and my work was fairly independent, so I could schedule my work to my schedule. I mostly worked shorter days, but often (my kids were very small) I caught up with work in the evening. So essentially I was with the kids for after school pick up and taking them to their after school activities. I'll tell you this: grocery shopping on Friday afternoons was the GOLD standard of working part time. Uncrowded store, plenty of time, set us up for the weekend and the following week - that was the best part, honestly. [/quote]
