Buzzin' Around the Beehive
|

While reaching out to last year's customers to assess their hiring needs for 2016, we noticed a pattern in their staffing structure that is expanding across the board.
Many of the employers we spoke to are no longer offering full-time positions of 30 hours per week or more. In the last 12 months, those that have modified their staffing pattern have converted up to 90% of their jobs to part time only positions. That development increased the volume of employees and the company's hiring activity but, of course, it also means many workers now need second jobs to sustain their households. When asked why they transitioned from full time to part time, they replied their decision was necessary to mitigate the increased costs; costs related to compliance with the Affordable Care Act and the penalties it imposes. The Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide healthcare benefits to all employees, offering full-time positions of 30 hours or more.
Employers who informed us of these changes were among the Retail, Hospitality and Residential Construction Sectors.
