If you work full-time, then you are entitled to all the benefits offered to employees by your employer for full-time workers. The definition of full-time, however, varies -- some companies may consider 37.5 to 40 hours as full-time with anything less categorized as part-time. In the state of Texas, however, a full-time worker is anyone who works at least 30 hours per week, according to the Texas Department of Insurance.
It defines full-time workers for health-benefits purposes as an âemployee who is hired with the expectation that the employee will work not more than 1,500 hours in any year.â That happens to come out to 28.8 hours a week.
