Fort Wayne Schools cutting hours over insurance
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - 1 of Indiana's largest school districts is cutting the hours of 610 part-time teaching aides and cafeteria workers to save money and to avoid providing them health insurance under the federal health care overhaul. Fort Wayne Community Schools Chief Financial Officer Kathy Friend says it's cutting their hours from 30 to 25 each week beginning June 3 because insurance would have cost $10 million. Beginning in January, large employers must offer health insurance to those who work at least 30 hours per week. Friend told The Journal Gazette for a story Monday (http://bit.ly/13Vuh5b ) the insurance matter is "something that almost all employers with part-time employees are trying to resolve." Friend says 230 other part-time employees will keep working 30 hours per week and become eligible for health insurance. http://www.fox19.com/story/22431580/fort-wayne-schools-cutting-hours-over-insurance Like no one saw this coming. Cut five hours and add the expense of obtaining insurance. Barrackonomics baby.
