How this calculation works
Part-time pay is simply hourly rate × weekly hours × weeks worked per year. The FLSA does not define "part time" — that label is set by the employer and affects benefit eligibility, not overtime rights.
Part-time workers retain full FLSA protections, including the 40-hour overtime threshold and minimum wage. The FTE ratio shown (weekly hours ÷ 40) is useful for benefit eligibility discussions under rules like the ACA.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours counts as part time in the US?
There is no single federal definition. The FLSA does not define part time; employers typically set it. Commonly, under 30–35 hours per week is considered part time, while 40 is standard full time.
Are part-time workers entitled to overtime?
Yes — the FLSA 40-hour weekly overtime rule applies regardless of part-time or full-time status. Hours over 40 in a workweek must be paid at 1.5× the regular rate.
