Is it a case of following old rules, or a way to skirt paying part-time employees healthcare?

We will see more and more of this... and it's the right thing to do. Don't like it, make your boss NEED and WANT you. Show them that you are vital to their success, and these things will come. Want to just grind out your shift, then enjoy your 25 hours.
