There are some employers who make part timers work more than full timers.
Part timers are usually paid lesser than full timers.
In many cases, the part timers are hired to help the full timers when there is simply too much work in the company.
However, in reality, the company gets rid of many lazy full timers, and then makes the part timers take over the job.
They do not increase the pay of the part timers.
They do not give health benefits or other benefits to the part timers.
They just schedule the part timers to work more hours than their usual full timers.
This is one way to save cost, but it is not fair to the employees.
The employees do not dare to complain. They know that they will lose the job if they complain about long hours of work.
They also know that they need the money.
Hopefully the economy will improve everywhere, so that people can work reasonable hours, and earn enough to spend on necessities, and to save for retirement.

@scheng1 That's a part of business still. I am glad that these jobs are being outsourced in my country. It was proven that Filipinos are well-skilled. I am sure there are also investors who had manpower in Singapore and the across the country. It is not only in my homeland.

Many companies have hired part-timers to cover hours and don't have as many full-time employees.
