In today’s workplace, the definition of full-time employment varies depending on where you work and who you ask.
According to the Affordable Care Act, a full-time job is one that requires employees to work a minimum of 30 hours a week. But there is no legal definition of full-time employment, and specific arrangements are left to the employer and its company policy.
As more full-time employees in a postpandemic world take up side gigs, companies are trying to understand whether what happens outside of office hours is their business or not.
