 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 1. Short title. This Act  may  be  cited  as  the
 6    Part-time Employee Wage Supplement Act.
 7        Section  5.  Part-time  employees;  wage  supplements.  A
 8    part-time employee  is  entitled  to  a  proportion  of  wage
 9    supplements  provided  by the employer to full-time employees
10    computed on a weekly basis equal to the proportion which  the
11    mean  number  of  hours  per  week spent in the employ of the
12    employer by the part-time employee bears to the  mean  number
13    of  hours  per  week spent in the employ of the employer by a
14    full-time employee. In  this  Section,  "part-time  employee"
15    means an individual who has worked at least 25 hours per week
16    during  at  least  8  months  of the preceding year.  In this
17    Section, "wage supplements" include  all  employer  sponsored
18    insurance  and  pension benefits, health services, child care
19    services  and  vacation  time.   This  Act  applies  to   all
20    employers  in  this  State  with  500  or more employees.  In
21    computing whether an employee has worked a qualifying  number
22    of  hours  under  this  Act,  an  employer shall consider the
23    number of hours worked by the employee during  the  preceding
24    year, ending at the conclusion of the last completed calendar
25    quarter.  No employer shall be required to provide payment of
26    wage supplements to an employee not currently employed by the
27    employer.
28        Section   10.  Administration.    This   Act   shall   be
29    administered by the Department of Labor.
