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.
Therefore, 32 hours of work is legally considered full-time by the Lone Star State. On the federal level, the United States Department of Labor identifies part-time workers as employees who work 1 to 34 hours per week. To be identified as full-time, you must work at least 35 hours per week.
