It sneaks up on you like a virus, surfacing first in small symptoms -- an extra hour at work here, a weekend worked there. Then suddenly you've got it bad:
Schedule creep.
Schedule creep is the nasty tendency of work to expand beyond allotted hours and fill all available time, with no corresponding increase in your paycheck. It's a big problem for people on part-time schedules in particular, who often find themselves working 100% time for 75% or 80% pay. Worse yet, part-timers are often sidetracked in their careers, on the assumption they aren't dedicated to their jobs.
Signs that your employer's part-time policy is flawed
- Only 3% or fewer of all employees work part- time
- Mostly women work part-time
- Part-timers work full-time for part-time pay
- Part-timers get assignments full-timers don't want
- Part-timers quit at higher rates
