(a) Hourly Wage. Employers shall provide Part-Time Employees with the same starting hourly wage as that provided to starting Full-Time Employees who hold jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions, provided that hourly pay differentials between Part-Time and Full-Time Employees are permissible if such differentials are based on reasons other than the Part-Time status of the Employee, such as a seniority system, merit system, system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production, performance or responsibilities. This subsection (a) shall not affect the minimum hourly requirements for receipt of benefits including but not limited to health care benefits.
(b) Access to Time Off. Employers shall provide Part-Time Employees with the same access to Employer-provided paid and unpaid time off as that afforded to Full-Time Employees for the same job classification.

This subsection (b) shall not apply to Employers that are subject to the Minimum Compensation Ordinance, Labor and Employment Code Article 111.
(c) Eligibility for Promotions. Employers shall provide Part-Time Employees with the same eligibility for promotions as that afforded to Full-Time Employees for the same job classification, provided that an Employer may condition eligibility for promotion on the Employee’s availability for Full-Time employment and on reasons other than the Part-Time status of the Employee, such as nature and amount of work experience.
