The Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) does not define part-time or full-time employment; rather, this is
generally a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee. It is
important to note that whether an employee is considered part-time or full-time
does not change the application of the FLSA, nor the
Service Contract Act (SCA) or
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts'
(DBRA) wage and fringe benefit requirements. The Wage and Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration administers and enforces the FLSA, the SCA, and the DBRA.
