How many hours is considered part time employment in New York state?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer. Whether an employee is considered full-time or part-time does not change the application of the FLSA, nor does it affect application of the Service Contract Act or Davis-Bacon and Related Acts wage and fringe benefit requirements Colby Bidwell

Employment and Labor Laws?

Minimum wage and overtime pay is an important part of employment labor law. Employers must follow federal and/or state laws regarding pay requirements or face penalties and sanctions. In some cases, employees may sue employers for breaches of these laws. Employers should familiarize themselves with minimum wage, overtime pay and meal break laws in their state as well as federal labor laws. The Fair Labor and Standards Act, or FLSA, sets the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour. States may set their own minimum wage, but if the federal minimum wage is higher than the wage required by state law, employers must follow the federal law. For example, if a state's minimum wage is only $5.75, employers must pay their workers at least $7.25 per hour. The FLSA also requires employers to pay most employees overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours per week. For each hour over the 40th hour, employers must pay at least 1.5 times the employee's normal hourly pay rate. Some classes of employees are exempt from the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime requirements. These employees are salaried workers who get paid a flat fee each week rather than being paid by the hour; however, not all salaried workers are exempt from FLSA requirements. To qualify for exemption, a salaried worker must work in an administrative, managerial or professional capacity and must make at least $455 per week. CEOs of companies, store managers and teachers are examples of occupations that may be exempt from FLSA requirements. The FLSA doesn't require employers to give their employees meal breaks after a certain number of hours, although some state laws do require this. For example, in California employees must get a lunch break after 5 hours of continuous work. The FLSA mandates that employers must pay employees for short breaks of less than 20 minutes. If a break is more than 20 minutes, it can be unpaid if the employee is relieved of all work duties during the break. For example, if an employee stays in the office and answers the phone during her lunch break, it doesn't count as a break and must be paid. If the employee works more than 40 hours that week counting these types of working lunches, the employer must pay overtime for the extra work.
