How many hours per week is considered full time in California when you are eligible for benefits?

Question

My friend thinks it is 32, our boss says 40. Is there a law involved, or is it up to the employer?

Answer 1

this varies by company. some companies provide benefits at 20 hrs per week. it is really a company policy that relates to attracting and retaining employees

Answer 2

40 hours is what's considered full-time, but an employer can give you benefits for part-time hours if they choose.
