Nucleotides Nucleotides are the monomers, building blocks, of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Each nucleotide includes three components: a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
A minimum of 20 hours per week is common although the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics' Economic News Release describes part-time employees as individuals working one to 34 hours per week. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Federal wage and hour law, doesn't define full- or part-time employment.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define what constitutes a part-time employee. What is counted as a part-time employee is generally defined by the employer by policy. The definition of a part-time employee is often published in the employerâs employee handbook. A part-time employee has traditionally worked less than a 40 hour work week. Today, though, some employers count employees as full-time if they work 30, 32, or 36 hours a week. In fact, fewer required work hours is considered a non-standard benefit in some organizations. Consequently, the definition of a part-time employee will vary from organization to organization. In many organizations, one differentiation between full-time and part-time employees is eligibility for benefits such as health insurance, paid time off (PTO), paid vacation days, and sick leave.
