Easy answer
We just received a call from someone who works part time and hurt his back on the job. His employer told him that he wasn't eligible for workers' compensation because he only worked 30 hours a week. He asked if this is true?
No.
Same thing for the person that e-mailed asking if she could get benefits when she was hurt on the first day on the job. First day, first minute you are covered. Part time, you are covered.
