Generally, working part time is considered working anything less than what your employer considers full time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines part-time status as working on average between one and 34 hours per week.

The Department of Labor does not differentiate between the two statuses.

Therefore, the maximum number of hours a person should be employed, according to the law, is 10 hours per day.mployees can work up to 6 days per week and must get at least one full day (24 hours) off per week, and this should normally be a Sunday. Enterprises have the right to limit the working hour but not in contrary to what the law say.
