Hi,
I am working for a company part-time and the way my company keeps track of hours spent on certain projects is through a program. If I spend an hour on project A then I will put it into the system and mark 1.0 hour, etc (And that is the amount that reflects my paycheck). Recently my company has been a bit slow so I have been leaving early. My supervisors don't have anything for me to do when I ask them, so I see there's no point in me staying there. Today I stayed there for 8 hours and was only able to charge about half of my time there because for almost 4 hours I had no work to do, but I was basically told to wait there until something comes up. Personally, I feel that it is not fair of them to ask me to stay for 8 hours and give me work that is only chargeable for about half the time I have been there. The way the system works for part-timers is basically... I will get payed by the hours I've spent on the project, so if I'm sitting there for 3 hours doing nothing on an 8 hour day, then I will only get paid for 5 hours. But I'm only sitting there for 3 hours doing nothing because I have absolutely nothing to do from my supervisors. How can I bring this issue up to my company? (link)

This sounds a little bit like a personal problem, what i would do is talk to your boss about what you feel the problem is and lt them know that your considering getting a second job
(even if your not) and say that you need to have a certain SET amount of hours that your being paid for so that you can work your second job in with that. then see what they say.
it IS a problem but if your a lower level employee then the likely hood of them actually fixing the whole system for you is low. I would consider another job if their unwilling to work with you on this.
I could see one excuse being that they dont know what they'll get "work wise" and want someone thats just kind of THERE already and i guess your that person?? thats the best i can guess because you were a bit short on details.
