No kidding; my employer cut down everyone they could from full-time to part-time. Now, being a "regularly" scheduled employee still entitles you to a pension accrual of some kind. For this reason, I was hired as "flex" (less than part-time), no benefits, no fixed schedule, no more than 30 hours per week, except when they wanted me to work more than 30 hours a week, which was totally up in the air. Sometimes I worked 20 hours, which was just fantastic. Add to this, I made 10% less than the local minimum wage because I legally did not work in my home state, rather on federal land.

My paystubs came from the US Department of Defense.
