Its not really a choice for a lot of people. Some companies hire large numbers of part time employees (see: UPS) because under federal and state law, they are under no obligation to provide benefits to these employees.\n\nIf they are full time, the companies have to provide benefits, which cut into their profit margin.

The Chinese have 3 long holidays a year. Spring festival (Chinese New Year), May day holidays and the National Day holidays in October. \n\nBut it is actually not a real one week holiday. Staff are expected to work on the weekend before the holiday and take their holidays in a row during the one week holiday. meaning that you work the weekend, then get the next week free.

You could ask your employer.  It doesn't make any difference: in town, out of town, wherever, they must be postmarked by Jan. 31.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

1-2 weeks vacation plus holidays:\n\nChristmas (sometimes another day before or after)\nNew Year's\nMemorial Day (some businesses)\nMartin Luther King Day (some businesses)\nJuly 4th\nLabor Day\nThanksgiving (and sometimes the day after)\n\nALL European countries give employees MUCH more time off -- 4-5 weeks, usually.  In USA, you usually have to work 15-20 years before you get that much.

Depends on why you are asking, but generally...anything under 40 hours...usually 25-35 hours a week would be considered part time.\n\nSome employers will deliberately schedule you just under 40 hours to avoid paying out benefits etc....it is pretty underhanded, but true none the less\n\nGood luck

At 12 the only jobs you would be allowed, by law, to do are newspaper delivery or baby sitting. Labor laws prevent you from working at a part time job.

In the UK, a public holiday was often first used by Banks, and usually on a Monday, so there are Bank Holiday Mondays, August Bank Holiday is a typical one. Sat/Sun/Mon rather like Memorial day in US

It does sound unfair.\n\nFew people realise that you have no say over when you take your Holidays, and your employer can turn down all your requests and can tell you when you will be off!

It depends where you work.  If you work for the government, you always get national holidays off.  Most businesses seem to let their workers take off Independence day (July 4) and Christmas.  If you work in the fast food business, you don't get off automatically for ANY holiday other than Christmas.  That's to the best of my knowledge.

Yes, as long as you're considered a full time worker.  Full time status is defined as 40 hours per week, for most companies in the US.  As long as you meet the minimum hours for a monthly total, then you will qualify for benefits.\n\nIf you don't meet these requirements, you may be put under a part time catagory.  Some employers have benefits for part time employees.  That's up to the employer.  Check with them to find out.

Your best bet would be either a temp agency that can find you appropriate part-time positions, or you can search for opportunities in your area on hotjobs, monster, or careerpath - you can specify geographic location and working hours (full or part time)
