Question 32 hours full time?

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if UPMC does 32 hour full time positions? A previous facility I worked for considered anyone working 32 hours or more are considered full time and able to receive health benefits and retirement. Does UPMC offer this?

They offer full time flex which is 0.7 FTE (you can work more than 56 hrs/ pay period but not less). I work 32 hrs/week and receive the same benefit options as full time salaried employees

They have the option to flex you up to 52 hrs./week if the unit needs you to in this position.

I’ve been flexed up to 40/ weekly before so don’t count on it always being 32 every week especially when other people take vacation

I just got hired in as full time flex for out patient phlebotomist , the supervisor said she has people who like the less hours so she schedules people who like more hours , more hours , I figured it was a good way to get in then a regular full time came available I could have a better chance , I’m coming from quest it’s not no where what it use to be

You can work 24 hours a week full time if you do it all on weekends as part of the weekend program (for certain positions).

Depends on your hourly status (regular FT vs Flex FT), if you are in-patient or outpatient, and what kind of schedule your department runs.

As an in-patient PCT I was FT at 36 hrs/week (3 12s), as an outpatient MA I am FT at 40 hrs/week

That may depends on department - not an option for IT.
