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.
If you do work over 16 hours per week, then you will probably be able to claim Working Tax Credits as well. As you receive DLA, you may be entitled to an increased rate of Working Tax Credits. If you are receiving incapacity/ESA, then there are restrictions on how many hours you can work before losing your benefits.f you do work over 16 hours per week, then you will probably be able to claim Working Tax Credits as well.
