are temporary workers(30hr or less) and contract workers (30 hrs or less)counted for the unemployment rate?

Yes, beacuse you are employed. When you don't have 40 hours a week you are put in a category of underemployed.

Unemployment rules vary somewhat from state to state.  The state I live in allows owners of small corps to draw unemployment for 6 or 7 weeks per year.  Partners and sole prop. cannot draw benefits.  Contact your local unemployment office to find out if you qualify.

Yes and no, depends how you view it.\nAccording to numbers, the people on unemployment has fallen and there are more jobs available.\nWhat the numbers don't say is what kind of jobs and how unemployment is figured.\n\nSay u have 2 million people on unemployment this month and only 1 million next month.  Sounds good, right? 1 million people went back to work.  In reality unemployment only counts those people getting checks.  Doesnt count the people whose unemployment ran out and are now without any money coming in.  Doesnt count those forced to take a job for $2 less an hour.\nNew jobs announced...\nWe created 50,000 new jobs.  Sounds good but the majority of those jobs are in fast food for yet another strip mall.\nThen you have the job shift where we lose 30,000 GM auto jobs but gain 30,000 telemarketing jobs or customer service.\nEver call AOL or some other company and have someone who can barely speak english answer?  Even our customer service jobs are being outsourced to India and Canada.\n\nThe jobs are there but most that are being created are either the high end college degree jobs or the low pay fast food.  And not to hit a sore subject but the illegal immigrants don't help matters by taking jobs away.

Depends on your terms of hiring. Are you classifying them as emplyees or independant contractors?

The only way to tell for sure is to contact the Ohio unemployment office. Check their web site, I included a link below try looking there.

If the workforce expands by more than the number of jobs.\n\nThe unemployment rate isn't the number of people without jobs - it's the number of people who have said that they're actively seeking work and can't find it (and are collecting benefits).\n\nIf you're unemployed for longer than your benefits last, you're not counted as unemployed any more. Great system, huh?

It's measured by the number of people who are not employed and are seeking work.  That can include someone who has been unemployed for a long period of time.

it all depends on the labor laws in the state which you live. By federal law all companies have to post in a public place in the office the Labor Laws for the state which you live. See if you can find it, it is the one that tell of the "minimum wage" for your state. You can do a google search for the "Division of Labor" in your state and call them to answer your question. One thing is for sure, you should be getting straight time, or comp.time for the hours over 40.  Good luck

depends on your contract with union or your employer

You have to apply at the unemployment office in your city/state.  It's easy, but you should probably try to go at least a half-hour before they open to avoid possible lines and a long wait.  The critera mainly involves having worked for the past 6 months steadily, whether it's one job or a combination of jobs.  If you quit your last job, you might not be able to collect, but if you were laid off, or fired unjustly, you'll be fine.

Oh, better than 'minimum wage'.  'Prevailing wage' applies.  It doesn't apply to Americans except at government sites.  However, this is to keep guest workers from being brought in just to depress wages, so that part I am OK with.\n\nI just think the whole idea that we will keep track of them once they get here, when we have never kept track of visa holders before is ludicrous.

It depends on the contract the employee has with his employer.  I have seen contracts where anything over 35 hours in a calendar week was paid at the overtime rate.  If there isn't a written contract, then the answer depends on the labor laws, both state and federal.  Consult a labor lawyer for further details.

Same as full time workers... 4 weeks paid (as a minimum - check Company benefits)\n\nBUT! it does work a little differently... \n\nFor example, if you work Monday, Tuesday and Weds.... you will be entitled to 12 days off per yer (equivalent to 4 weeks, 3 days per week x 4)

check with your state labor dept.....there are several different interpretations..........some part time emplyees who are on call can put in more than 40 hours......it's usually 32 to 36 hours for part time...check with the state labor dept....look it up in the phone book
1069912
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.
