AIBU to feel discriminated against as a part-time worker (9 day fortnight)

[NoJamSlags]

My employer is offering a 9 day fortnight (compressed hours 9 days a fortnight with the 10th day off). But only to full time staff. Has anyone else experienced this – is it not discriminatory to part time staff not to offer the equivalent? Not sure if I am being unreasonable querying this?

@NoJamSlags This is about definitions.

Compressed hours are full time hours over 4 days or 9 day fortnight.

Part time is anything less than full time. A part timer can have a working pattern that has days that are longer than a full timers working day.

For example a full timer on 37.5 hours works 7.5 hours a day. Compressed hours are either 4 x 9 hours 22 minutes or 9 x 8 hours 20 minutes.

A part timer working 32 hours could do 4 x 8 hour days. This is longer than a full time day of 7.5 hours.

As long as part timers are also permitted to work 8 hours 20 minutes a day there is no discrimination.

As your employer is trialling 9 day fortnights ask them if part timers can trial working longer days too.

Do you work 5 days a week ? Shorter hours . How many hours do you work ?

i work P/T ( although classed as F/T - anyone 30 hours or over is F/T). I do an additional 30 minutes a day to everyone else but work 4 days a week . I negotiated it at interview though

Yes. Op is getting their knickers in a twist about an imaginary refusal of being considered the same as full time workers when (at the time of this quoted message) hadn't even asked her workplace if she can do the same..
