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.
Rounding Hours Worked. Some employers track employee hours worked in 15 minute increments, and the FLSA allows an employer to round employee time to the nearest quarter hour. However, an employer may violate the FLSA minimum wage and overtime pay requirements if the employer always rounds down. Employee time from 1 to 7 minutes may be rounded down, and thus not counted as hours worked, but employee time from 8 to 14 minutes must be rounded up and counted as a quarter hour of work time.
