What is considered part time?

Part-time status is defined by how many hours a worker is on the job each week. In this context, part-time means fewer than 20 hours per week. This threshold helps distinguish workers for wage calculations and return-to-work considerations in workers’ compensation. If someone works 15 hours, they’re part-time; 25 hours would not be part-time under this rule. Exactly 20 hours isn’t the cutoff used here, and “less than 40 hours” is too broad and would include many workers who aren’t considered part-time by this standard.
