Are part-time employees eligible for insurance?

Part-time employees are eligible for insurance if they work at least half time. Half time is defined as twenty (20) hours per week for forty (40) hour/week staff (exempt and non-exempt), and 18.75 hours per week for 37.5 hour/week non-exempt staff.

Non-exempt employees who work 18.75-27.9 hours per week, and exempt employees and non-exempt employees in a 40 hour/week position who work 20-29.9 hours per week, are considered 50% time.
