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.
