How many hours do I have to work per week for my job to be considered full time?
Is it 35 hours or is it 40?
Does it depend on the company?

Usually it is 40 but some companies are different.

depends on the company. traditionally it is 40 hours, but some companies give you an hour for lunch, which may or may not be counted against you. so typically, the 40 hour work week is 9 to 5 every day with a lunch break.

Depends on the company, but most consider anything over 30 hours.. full time.

It depends on your company's policy. Look in the handbook, it will usually say what full-time is and what benefits are available.
40 is the norm, but federal and state-wide anywhere from 32-40 is considered full-time.

General rule of thumb has been 40 hours a week is fulltime, but it could differ by the company as well.

When I worked in payroll for a previous company, employees were considered full time at 37.5-40 hours (this was a rather large nursing home company...over 50,000 employees nationwide).

It depends on the company but mostly if you work 36 hours or more they have to give you full-time benefits.
I work in HR in Tennessee. I hope this helps.
