Rant About Hours!!

This blog has nothing to do with customers and it is more of giving myself a chance to vent about something that really is not fun about being a server.

Nothing against Obama, but Obamacare really is not doing us any good, and this also may go for any other job dealing with the public. 

I have worked at Applebee's for 4 months now and it bothers me that I am only aloud to work 30 hours a week, and that is not counting any other shifts that are available to pick up. I was told today that I could not pick up an extra shift due to this law!!

I understand that he is just trying to help, but I have health insurance. I do not need the company I work for to pay for that. The law says that anyone who works over 30 hours their employers have to pay for health insurance. This goes back to what I said before I have health insurance and I do not need my employer to pay for it. 

I just want to make more money!!!

And it was postponed until 2015.

ObamaCare Employer Mandate Rules

The ObamaCare employer mandate was set to begin in 2014, officially a tax, the "mandate" requires that all employers with over 50 full-time full-time equivalent employees would pay a tax on full-time employees who were not provided with employer basedhealth insurance. The first 30 full-time employees are exempt form this rule, so smaller businesses will be burdened less by the law than larger firms.

Understanding Full-time Equivalent Employees

In simple terms FTE or "full-time equivalent" equals (the total number of full-time employees) plus (the combined number of Part-time employee hours divided by 30). NOTE: seasonal employees, contractors, and business owners don't count toward the total. Part-time employee hours can be averaged from anywhere between a 3 and 12 months span to determine FTE.
