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.
To be eligible for regular benefits, you must: 1  Have worked the required number of hours in your area. 2  You must have worked these hours within the last year. 3  This number is usually 420-700 hours, but it depends on the unemployment rate in your area. 4  If you are working for the first time, you might need to have 910 hours.
