Here’s an ordinance that HR pros nationwide will want to keep a close eye on.
Voters in San Jose, CA, just approved a ballot measure that’s unlike anything else in the country to date.
It requires San Jose employers to offer work hours to part-time employees before hiring new employees.
As The Mercury News reported last January, the thinking behind the ordinance is it’ll help more part-time workers qualify for work benefits, which tend to be offered to full-time employees. And, naturally, it’s also meant to help boost take-home pay for many part-timers.
