<prompt> Human: Hey,Im looking to move into an appt very shortly within 2 months and was looking for extra hours at work to live more comfortably. I was told by the comptroller I couldnt work more than 30. Im payed hourly as a fitness trainersupervisor. I work and live in CT, USA. Any idea what thats about?If its some benefits issue, can I sign something that waives it? Its not 401k, I already qualify for that.  <response>: No employer in the US is obligated to hire someone FT as opposed to PT. The US has an always increasing number of PT jobs rather than FT jobs, especially in the service and retail industries, so that the company saves money. your employer knows exactly what they are doing by hiring employees at 30hrs a week. No document you sign will have them bump you up.
