Darden Restaurants is a huge company. It owns Olive Garden and Red Lobster amongst many others, so when this company decides it will start cutting hours due to the imminent implementation of ObamaCare, you had better listen. From the Orlando Sentinel:
Darden, the world’s largest casual-dining company and one of the nation’s 30 largest employers, said it offers health insurance to all its approximately 185,000 employees. Many are offered a limited-benefit plan. That type of coverage is being phased out under health-care changes, which will ban annual limits for most plans.
In an experiment apparently aimed at keeping down the cost of health-care reform, Orlando-based Darden Restaurants has stopped offering full-time schedules to many hourly workers in at least a few Olive Gardens, Red Lobsters and LongHorn Steakhouses.
This is just the beginning, folks!
ReplyDeleteVote for Romney/Ryan! Our economy, our national defense, and our very freedom are all at stake here!
Here we go with health care administrated by the government.It starts out bad and gets much worse as times goes on.The democrats were never really interested in people having health care, they just wanted to get their sticky palms on 12% of our economy.
ReplyDeleteSo, if I have 100 part time employees instead of 50 full timers, and have to occasionally lay some off, does that keep my rxperience rate lower than if I laid off full timers? I need to lower my rate!
ReplyDeleteAny book keepers out there know this? Does a part timer laid off even get unemployment?

I think it has to do with how much they make in the last 3 quarters or something like that, right?
