What is considered part- time in CA?

Question

For example in Old Navy or GAP.

Answer 1

I found this info when I googled your question:  "Part-time employment is either 20 hours a week or employment for a period of 6 months or no more than 1000 hours of service in a 12-month period."

There is no California or Federal law which requires an employer to provide health insurance, vacation pay or other benefits to any employees and the employer can restrict such benefits to full-time employees

Answer 2

I live in California and it is less than 40 hours a week generally. Most companies do this to get out of offering insurance etc. to employees.

Answer 3

The definition of "part-time" varies from state to state. However, in most states where I have worked the line is at 36 hours per week. 36 and under is considered part-time. Anything more than 36 is considered full-time. Ask at your local state employment office for details for where you live. There are exceptions to the rule, for example, "job sharing" in which 3 people share 2 jobs, or something similar. Even though in the 3 people sharing 2 jobs example, each falls under the 36 hour rule for each person, each worker only works 2/3rds of a week, all 3 are considered full-time in the places where I have worked. Because of exceptions like this one, you need to ask this question at the source, the state employment office.
