Part Time Receptionist Career Guide and Counseling

I type 40 wpm, Im proffecient in word processing, spreadsheet and presentation data bases. Does anyone have any open positions for High School students?

Answer: I suggest looking at the numerous stock, bond and securities firms that relocated to Jersey City, NJ, after the tragedy of 9/11. Some are large, some are small. You are looking for a smaller one if seeking part-time employment. Just open the local phone book to "stock dealer" or "securities dealer." Good luck!

Question: Why do I need worker's comp insurance for a part time receptionist I hired for my business? NY state is penalizing my small business a ridiculous amount of money for not having this. This is absurd and example of government stealing money from small business.

Answer: Except for the fact that the worker's comp system was set up to avoid small businesses from being hit with big judgments for workers' injuries on the job. The idea is that everyone shares the risk. When you're not doing your part, everyone is hurt. And there must be sufficient penalities to encourage people not to subvert the law.

Question: What happens if you are a part-time employee but work full-time hours? I'm a dental receptionist, part-time, but a co-worker quit on short notice, so I've had to cover him. For the last month or so i've been working 40 hours a week. What happens? Are part-time workers not allowed to go over a certain # of hours per week? if so how long?

Answer: You are a full time (by working 40 hours per week) employee. While you may be a temporary employee, you are still full time and can work as many hours as your employer authorizes. Full time and part time employees are only separated by 4 hours per week. (36 versus 40)
