Don't you just hate it when people who don't know the answer, send in answers anyway?

There is NO LAW in the US about this! It really does not matter what those girls who have answered this question earlier think or feel or wish or believe or hope to be true.

No requirement by Federal Law. Some benefits state that you must work at least 30, but this is up to each individual company.

There is no law requiring any hours to be given to an employee, and no law that designates and employee as full time anyway - that's a designation the employer might use, not a legal term.

There is no legal definition of "full time." It is up to the employer to define.

There is no federal law. Someone else said it varies from company to company, and that is true. The general acceptance of full time is 40 hours a week. Check with your HR department for the definition of full time. My company says full time is a minimum of 32 hours a week, but the average full time employee works 50 a week.


Francesca Thomas
In Canada its usually 35 hours upwards. Anything less than 35 is usually considered part time hours - but not always.

It can also depend on the employer because some employers will consider 30 or 32 hours to be full time (and be covered for benefits).


Expert Realtor
There is nothing in the law that states that ANY employer has to employ you full-time unless you have a written contract with that same employer.

32+ hours per week

40 hours. If that employee is to qualify for medical benefits. Some employers have full-time employees who work less than 40 hours so they don't have to pay them any kind of benefits.

I'm interested in the other answers you receive.

I believe its atleast 35 hours min. might want to check with your state as it varies.
