The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no definition for part-time or full-time employment. However, according to the IRS: A full-time employee is, for a calendar month, an employee employed on average at least 30 hours of service per week, or 130 hours of service per month. This goes hand in hand with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which defines full-time employment as 30 hours or more.
