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.
Calculate how many hours you expect your employee to work. Usually, a work day is eight hours and an employee can expect to work 52 weeks. Multiply eight hours by five days a week to get a 40 hour work week, then 40 hours times 52 weeks equals 2,080 hours a year. Find how much you want to pay the employee hourly. In the example, assume you want to pay him $12 an hour.
