    I read it as 12 in the company. If I misread, I apologize for a mis-leading answer. Yes, that is 50 in the entire company. Or, as Ron says, 100 half time.

    Thanks for the clarification. I just thought that when OP said "This shop" when describing his workplace instead of "The shop", there was a small possibility that his shop is one of several others within a single company.

    You may be right. I may have read it wrong. Perhaps the OP will come back and clarify.

    Note that it's specifically not a single location (like FMLA rules which counts employees in a 75 mile zone) but across all the company and companies owned or related to the same owner (similar to the EEOC rules). Our HR department (OK, one lady) was taken to task as they would not consider our wholely owned subsidiary to be a small company when it was part of a larger holding company.

    Just a question.

    What happens in the case of a business that is a franchise?

    Let's say you own one small business that employee 25 people and there are 49 more locations that employee 25 people each, but each of those locations have a different owner. And all locations are under the franchise of a parent company, so all 50 locations have the same name.

    A business that can demonstrate it is organizationally independent like a single franchisee is a distinct business for it's own 50 employee count . However around here it's not uncommon for someone to own a dozen or so franchisees. Even if he incorporates all the individual outlets separately, it would be viewed as the same company. Lots of case history and interpretation on this.
