How do I know I am a full-time employee?
My employer has me as a part-time employee yet for the past year I have been working forty-hours a week. Yet since I am a part-time employee I do not get the benefits of a full-time employee such as vacation pay, holiday pay, insurance, and other benefits. Do I have a legitimate complaint?

It is common for employers to have so-called "part time" or "temporary" employees who actually work full time and more and have for years. The U.S. Post Office does it a lot. There are some nondiscrimination rules under ERISA which might apply to insurance benefits, but I have not had occasion to research your particular question. So, the bottom line is, go see a lawyer who deals with employment law and ask her to research it for you if she doesn't know.
