Question

Is it true that a part-time worker can only work less than 28 hours a week consistently or the employer has to pay benefits?

Answer

No, I know of no such federal and/or state law (absent a valid contract or collective bargaining type of agreement) which requires employers in the

Commonwealth to pay "benefits" to employees irrespective of the number of

hours that they might work.
