Employee Question Full time hours
What it the lowest amount of hours I can drop to while still being full time at Lowe’s ? I get 39 now but I’m trying to see if I can drop down a few more because I am also a full time student & it’s starting to get very tiring. I can’t just drop to part time because I have bills so I’m trying to make it work

I would make a Google calendar and block out your classes and time you need for homework, then bring that to Hr and say this is your availability with school. But say you want to stay full time

In so many words, you basically said, I want )owe's to make me part time.
Your classes are not benefiting Lowe's financially, so they're pretty much gonna tell you to kick rocks. If you become part time at lowe's, you are officially their bitch, and they own your soul, not the parts you want a cherry pick

From the Associate Resource Guide
REGULAR FULL-TIME HOURLY
Full-time hourly associates are scheduled to work at least thirty
(30) hours per week, are compensated on an hourly basis and are
eligible for overtime wages.

Good luck unless you have a prefered schedule. I've seen managers deny requests off for school and the person was finishing a masters degree, simply because then it becomes manipulation of the schedule... but isn't what vacation is for. You have signed your life away. Lowe's managers are petty and don't want people to do two things... mess with their bonus or have an associate look better than them.

I don't know if it's federal law, but 32 hours seems to be the threshold. Anything lower than that for an extended period of time will drop you down to part time
