Why do part time employees make less per hour than full time

[tmurph]

An hours work is an hours work. Why should it pay less? I can think of no reason why two workers doing the same job should get different pay.

reason why two workers doing the same job should get different pay.

Workers get more per hour when more total hours have been worked is basical ly because a more-frequent worker is considered a more serious or experienc ed one - thus a more valuable one. A full-time employee devotes his or her full attention toward their job. A part-time worker is not so single-minded about his or her vocation.

Paying someone compensation for their time is a contrived concept to begin with. Depending on the job, the value of a unit time varies from totally no thing to completely valuable. Someone who knows how to do a job (say, fixin g a generator) is infinitely more valuable than someone who doesn't have a clue.

Compensation isn't given on productive-value alone. Although it is generall y observed as an injustice, the CEOs in America get paid substantially more than low-level workers. Naturally, these people don't all function in the same capacity.
