it depends where you work at some places you only have to work 32 hours and your full time. but most places are 40 hours to be full time. is the place your working at short staff and your just getting all these hours to more help comes? are you working over time if so that makes a difference? say you was just working 32 hours a week which will be part time and you worked 18 hours of over time. 8 of it won't be over time but the other 10 will be. why don't you ask the company your working for. some employers don't want to pay the benefits that come with full time or give you the pay as full time. i would check into that. i don't think there is a law about that though.

"Full time" is usually defined by your company's policies. For example, if you're an hourly worker and you normally work 30 hours per week, but during the holiday season you work 50 hours per week, you may still be considered part time (you would be entitled to OT pay though). Most companies consider 35 - 40 hours to be "full time" for benefits purposes. Ask the person who handles your HR for a copy of your company policies and for info on your employment status.

40 hours is full time employment. Some companies attempt to justify it as part time by knocking off an hour here or there and continously rolling the hours over to the following week. If your working 50 hours a week, you should be getting overtime pay.....check your state laws.

Full time employment as far as overtime goes is regulated by each state and federally. If you are asking about full-time as far as benefits or extra perks, each company is different according to the health plan and the rules involved with each one. We have some part time employees who work more than 40 hours per week (they take extra shifts and extra hours). They are paid according to the law for all hours worked and overtime as it applies, but they are not eligible for benefits and extra's because some weeks they may not work more than 40 hours.

Actually I think that anything over 35 hours a week, you are considered a full-time employee. You are entitled to overtime wages (time + 1/2) for ANYTHING worked MORE THAN 40 hours a week.

yeah, it depends on which state you live in. Some employers try to milk the system by making you work more that 40 hrs. and labeling you part time so they don't have to give you any benefits. I would have a one on one with your boss asap.
