I’m supposed to work part time, but the load is full time

Question: “I work in a small office of 10 employees (an insurance company).  I work 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; all the other employees work full time. At times I need to pass work to others to handle in the afternoon hours. When I take the issues to the supervisor, she directs me to distribute the work to other employees, which they don’t appreciate. I get that. But my absence in the afternoon means that others are fielding my return customer calls. Regarding accountability and productivity, I feel that my boss and owner want to see completion of a full-time work load in 62.5% time. Any advice on the best way to handle this? —B.B.

I would speak to your supervisor. Explain that your workload exceeds the hours you are allowed to work. Also express your concerns regarding the return customer phone calls that others are fielding in your absence. Maybe when you leave a message for your customers, you can state the hours that you work and ask them to return the calls between those hours only. Do you want to work full time? If yes, prove to your supervisor that there is enough work to substantiate your being given full time hours. Good Luck!
