How do you get bumped to full time. I've been working 40+ hrs a week for a while now. Once every so often I work less. How does it work in your division?

Delta. I believe its 10 weeks 33 hours + if you go under that during the 10 weeks you start over again. I rolled over to full time and these bastards didn't bother to say anything. Company is just cheap ass garbage AT best
In Louisville it's 12 consecutive weeks at 40 hours straight time AND if you're not the senior part time employee in the store, then an opening for a full time position is posted in the store for seven days. So it's possible for one person to do all the work of working 40 hours for 12 consecutive weeks and then have their full time status taken away from them by someone who has more seniority.

In Southwest Division, it's twelve straight weeks of forty hours. Vacation and personal time does not count towards this, so you can't use any during the twelve week period without the twelve week period resetting on you. Overtime also doesn't count, so let's say you're scheduled 38 hours and one day, you work an extra two hours over your shift. Even though you technically hit 40 hours with overtime, overtime is counted differently, just like vacation and personal time, so it wouldn't count towards your twelve weeks. However, unlike the person that's in the Louisville Division, in my division, they don't post that there is a full time opening. You just automatically get moved from part time to full time. Store management and ASPs (if your division still has those, that is, the position was phased out in mine) get an e-mail "alert" once you are within a couple of weeks of reaching full time status just in case management is unaware you're about to get full time. That's why sometimes part time employees suddenly see their hours plummet one week - it's to prevent them from getting full time status. That didn't happen to me because my store manager was cool with me getting full time, so he just let it happen. So it will ultimately depend on whether your store manager wants you to be full time or not.
It doesn't happen. Once you get close, you get a 12 hour week or two. If by some miracle you do make it, they give you the double bird, laugh in your face, and tell you to go to the union. The union won't even pick up the phone these days.
The only real way to get full time is to get promoted to management.
In northern Colorado, there is no automatic promotion no matter how many hours you work. Probably due to our lack of union, so if yours isn't union it might be similar. Every year there is a sign-up period for those that want to try and get lucky grabbing a spot. A limited number of positions are given out for each bargaining unit (city, basically). I've been working 40+ hours for five years or so, and I never bothered signing up because I never had trouble getting hours. But then my hours got cut in half when my night crew was over-staffed after New Years. So I transferred to a store in the next city/bargaining unit where I had top seniority, then landed full time when the sign-up came around again. The worst bit is that if I transfer out of that bargaining unit (I commute because that city is growing too fast and sucks to live in because of it), I'll lose my full time status.
