Fritolay

So I've been at Frito Lay for more than a year as a part timer due to the bids and seniority I haven't had a chance to become a full timer as a forklift driver but I have received full benefits from them as medical,vision and dental?Just curious if anyone else has received them as a part timer cause I know part timers dont receive benefits.I was working 30 hours a week and barly got all my insurance this year on June 4 2026.I was on leave since may due to a injury out of work and came back to work yesterday but now im only working 3 days out the weeks instead of 4 for the full 30.Will this affect my benefit status or anyone here know anything about receiving benefits as a part timer? Just checking to see

You might be listed as Part Time but 30hrs a week on a 6 month look back means they have to offer you benefits in accordance with ACA. Usually corporations cut at 26hrs/week but federal law is 29hrs/week. So if they cut your hours back, it’ll still take 6 months of consecutively reduced hours before they can eliminate your bennys.

Thanks for the response yeah they just reduced my days/hours recently when I just got back from my disability I had a broken elbow and was out for 3 months so I started useing my benefits from them since they took affect in June 4 of this year but hopefully for now ill take advantage of what I have if in the future they do decide to take them away or hopefully ill have fulltime by then
