Part time job salary

**Beardo** · 04-07-2010

How much does a part time job pay for example at like a grocery store or retail or something? On average. Please be sure to specify country as well. I'm mainly looking for US.

in Canada it would be around $8/hr? If you are working without a Social Insurance Number, which you are not legally allowed to, then people will try to rip you off and give you like $6/hr and you cannot do anything about it.

How many hours a month is part time range?

You would get paid Minimum wage if you work in those environments.
Minimum wage in Canada was just raised to 10.25/hr on March 31st.

It will really depend on your area. I'd go in and ask at various places.

In high school, 12-ish years ago, I made minimum wage, and then got raises of a nickel or a dime every 6 months

Here and now in the twin cities, minnesota, I think the starting wage is usually a dollar or 2 more than the minimum.

Part time is anywhere from 10 to 32 hours, usually.

Part time is usually anything less than 40 hours per week.

UmmSqueeker: Jazax, just what I was looking for.

I asked my friend at school today.. He said it's usually 24 hrs a week, $10 an hour average.

That's why some people from poor countries want to move to US.

well in NA if you are working less than 40 hours/week, you are considered part time.

err... minimum wage was just under $8 back in 2005 when I got my first job lol. Right now its been raised to $10.25 in Ontario. So that is the minimum an employer would legally need to pay. In the US, the minimum wage is much different, and probably differs by state right? So it really depends on that. Some grocery stores may bump you up a couple nickels depending on your 'experience' and what not. Some have 'tiers' or 'levels' of employee pay.
I'm pretty sure you are classified as part time when you work less than 37.5 hours.
