Full-Time Employee (FTE) Any employee who works an average of at least 30 hours per week for more than 120 days in a year. Part-time employees work an average of less than 30 hours per week.
The standard for full-time was typically 40 hours a week in the past. However, many employers consider employees as working part time based on a different schedule i.e. under 30 hours or 35 hours a week, for example. A part time job is a position that requires employees to work a lower number of hours than would be considered full-time by their employer. An employee is considered part-time if he or she works less than 35 hours per week, for example, or works below the number of hours that the employer considers to be full-time.
