I also have had a fever for past few weeks, tiredness, the painful neck and generally feeling unwell. I had a full blood count done a couple of weeks ago and a test for glandular fever and apparently everything came back fine. they also did a swab in my throat and that is fine.
Federal laws do not address how many hours an employee must work to be a full-time employee. It leaves that decision to the employer. Some state laws, such as California, recognize employees who typically work at least 40 hours a week as full-time employees. You must pay all employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 in one week.
How many continuous hours may one work? Washington While working for an employer in Snohomish county of Washington State I was required to work in excess of 60 hours within three days with no relief. I was allowed the normal 10 minutes breaks required by state law, but during such breaks I was on-call. I was the sole employee present during the three days.
