CA LABOR LAWS - Full time vs Part time Hours?

[colum]

We have the manual for Order No. 1-2001 (Manufacturing Industry) there is nothing listed stating hours/time required that defines a part time/ full time position. Is there a borader legal code in CA that defines a full time from a part time employee? I have spent two hours on their CA.gov website trying to find this answer! I need the code/citation reference as well. Thanks!

In California and every other state =
Full time is 40 hours per week unless the company designates a different amount.
- In California, most insurance companies have designated benefits elgible as employees working more than 30 hours perr week.

To answer your question more clearly = there is no code because the state of California and the federal government DO NOT CARE about full time or parttime employees. They care about the Fair Labor Standards Act which discusses how many hours you work.

What is considered full time or parttime is based on company policy.
The companies explanation of benefits signifies when a person it eligible for benefits.

in CA and every other state there is NO definition of full-time or part-time in labor law.....

the terms full-time and part-time are used by employers generally for determining who may be eligible for benefits...

what you are looking for does NOT exist

this is wrong on both points because there is NO definition of full-time, and in reality most employers set FT at 32 to 38 hours or more per week
and insurance companies do NOT determine eligibility, employers do, many employers set eligibility on length of service and do not even count hours worked.......
