Many part time workers do not feel valued because they do not have access to health benefits. This is because employers are not required to give benefits, and most do not unless an employee works 40 hours per week or more. Additionally, hourly workers have it the worst because they only get paid if they work, which means they lose money if they get sick or have to take a day off. If you are looking for part-time employment, try to find a company that cares about their hourly employees as much as their full-time, salaried employees. There are health benefits for part-time workers at some companies.

It is hard to find a good employer, but Working Mother’s Inc. has made it easier by providing a list of the best companies for hourly workers. Some may be interested to learn that Cricket Communications has been included in this list for two years in a row. Jennifer Owens, the Director of Working Mother Research Institute stated, “Cricket Communications has been honored as one of Working Mother’s Best Companies for Hourly Workers because it is encouraging hourly employees to understand how their health and productivity go hand-in-hand.” You can read more about this on your Blackberry smart phone.

Employees only need to work 30 hours per week in order to be eligible for health benefits. This is great news for people who don’t want to work a full-time job, but need to have health insurance. This is a fun place to work and should be one of the first places people look to apply for a part-time position.
