My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida. I work at a store of a large grocery supermarket chain, as a part-time cashier. I have been working there for the past 22 years. I was, initiall, hired as a bagger, and, then, officially, changed my role / classification to a cashier. A couple of years ago, the company instituted a new scheduling system, according to which, one could be scheduled to work as a cashier or as a bagger. All cashiers could be scheduled to work as baggers, some times, and baggers that are trained to operate a cash registers could be scheduled to work as cashiers, some times. Is that legal? If it is legal, is it not unfair for the bagger to be working as a cashier, since he would be getting paid only as a bagger, and, not, as a cashier? Can a bagger refuse to be scheduled as a cashier, and vice-versa, especially, if that person is not a full-time employee, and only a part-time employee?? I was told, several years ago, by some managers, that, full-time employees are guaranteed 40 hours and only one set day off in a week, and other that, their work schedule may change, every week, but, that, part-time employees, even though they may not be getting 40 hours every week, they could put demands. ... Thanks in advance.
