<prompt> Human: Hopefully this is the right place for this question! Im 21 and recently returned to my summer job for the second year in a row at an extremely small business less than 25 employees total. Since Ive been gone, many things have changed. Last summer, I got paid 10 an hour to work 35 hours per week. This summer, they informed me that the pay was the same. Which was fine, until I found out that employees are now separated officially into full time and part time. Full time employees get paid 13 an hour. That would be fine if not for the fact that Ive been working an average of 35 hours a week as well! In short, Im a part time worker getting paid 10 an hour to do the same job that a full time employee is doing even though full time is getting paid more an hour. And Im working the same if not more hours as the full time people, doing the exact same job they are. Is this fair? Am I being taken advantage of? This has been my only real job, so Im not sure. Thanks!  <response>: Youre different than a fulltime employee, who works fulltime year long. Youre really a seasonal worker and as such, most places wont give you the same pay. You can ask if theyll consider giving you a raise since youre a returning candidate that doesnt need training but thats all on the business.
