how many hours are considered working full time?

[milos_mommy]

it's 8 hours a day, isn't it?

 

[darkchild16]

its a 40 hour week. the amount per day doesnt matter.

 

[Beanie]

Depends on where you are.
Full-time work in the state of Illinois is defined as 32 hours/week or more.

 

[sparks19]

Yeah I believe anything over 32 hours a week is considered full time.

You could work 12 hours one day a week and it's still considered part time.

I always thought of the basic pay work week as 8 hrs a day / 5 days a week . Unless you are an at home Mom ! Really depends on what you do or if you own your own business .

 

[zoe08]

I am pretty sure it is 32 hours/week also is full time. But anything over 40 hours is overtime.

 

[M&M's Mommy]

I think it's 40 hours a week. Most companies break it down to 8 hrs/day, 5 days/wk - Some companies do 10 hrs/day, 4 days/wk.

Here in Indiana it is considered 40 hours per week.

I work 32 (8 per day, 4 days a week) and I am part time. How you get paid overtime is normally based on the company's policy.

The company I work for goes by anything over 8 hours is over time for that day. MOST places do it by anything over 40 hours a week.

I think the reason they don't use 8 hrs a day 5 days a week is because it doesn't always add up to 40 hours... some companies have you scheduled for 8 hours a day but you get an hour lunch that is unpaid... so then technically you are only paid 7 hours a day 5 days a week.

I think it's 40hrs is considered full time here...Doesn't matter how many hours a day you work so long as your work week adds up to 40. Technically a whole work week is Monday thru Sunday.

I used to work 4 10hr days and had 3 days off...gosh do I miss those hours...

 

[FoxyWench]

40 here, anything under 40 is part time, and anythign over 40 is overtime...

i know this because of trying to get insurance bennies lol.

Unless the government steps in ! We owned a family business ... five men's/women's stores . All were full time employees ... happy campers ! Summer times were slow , so we'd let those who wanted times off to go fishing , camping etc. to go . ( This besides vacation time ) .... well Christmas season was different and all knew it . Of course they had to work more hours .... Well one year ( Kennedy era ) we were told all had to be paid for overtime !!! Forget that they had fun time off !!! Cost us over $10,000 for 8 year back pay !! No one wanted to collect ,,,,,but had to because Big Brother said so .

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I think it depends on where you are... 32 hours/week and up is considered full time in these parts.

 

[OutlineACDs]

Its usually 32 hrs/ week over a course of 6 consecutive weeks makes you full time. For the company I work for I can work 30-40 hrs per week but still be considered part time as long as I am not working that many hours for 6 consecutive weeks. We usually never get that many hours, but it has happened on occasion.

Even if you are part time anything over 8 hours in a day, with exceptions, qualifies as OT.

 

[elegy]

here it's 32 hours/week. i've had schedules all over the place. some days i sure do wish for a 9-5 schedule.

 

[bubbatd]

Agree Blue ....but our guys had many more payed hours off during the year than the extra Christmas hours . They loved to call in and ask if they could have a day or 2 off . It was like here at Chaz ... family . We didn't care as long as we were covered on the floor for the customers. One year people came in and asked if they wanted to join the union . No one wanted to !! WE treated them well until the governments dragged us down and finally put us out of business .
