My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: CA
Hello,
I was laid off from my job over six months ago and rehired within 3 months. I was hired back as a 'per diem/on call' employee to cover vacation and sick leave. Since my rehire date I have never worked under 20 hours a week, and am in fact regularly scheduled. Definitely not working just to cover sick leaves. I am expected to be a work every work day, not just during a fellow employees absence. I have been told that even though they obviously need me part time they will not change my status. I feel it is because part time employess at my place of business are benefited and they don't want to benefit me.
I have had several people tell me they thought that if a per diem employee worked regularly scheduled part time or full time hours for a certain amount of time, the employer was obligated to change their status. Unfortunately I ha e no idea on how to find d this information out. I am having a hard time navigating the labor laws. Any he'll would be much appreciated.
