When I was hired at Eyemasters I was told I was full time and that I would recieve benefits. What I was not told was that the manager who hired me changed my status to part time one month after I was hired. She failed to tell me this, because she would look better having more part time employees than full time. (for whatever reasons, im sure she got some sort of a bonus for having more part timers). So I was working full time hours, but was not receiving any vacation hours, medical, dental, personal time off, etc. That i should have been getting. I found out a few months later, when I tried to sign up for benefits, and use my personal day, that because she secretly changed my status, my hours were not accumilating. When I told my Managers, they just gave me the run around, and acted like it was no big deal. When i mentioned that I wanted retroactive for all the time they screwed me out of, they told me "they didn"t know if they could do that. Finally Iwent over their heads to human Resources, andafter a lot of explaining, they finally changed my status. I got fed up and quit. But what they did was highly illeagal and immoral.
