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 hours a week are you expected to work if you are a full time employee? Even though many people consider 35 or 40 hours a week full time, the number of hours you are expected to work can vary depending on your employer. In some cases, it's less, for other employers, it can be more. The standard for full-time employment was typically 40 hours a week in the past.
