Understanding how many hours a week is part time can vary; most part-time jobs are fewer than 35-40 hours per week. There are some companies that consider anyone who works less than 20 hours a week to be part-time, and others that let up to 30 hours or even 35 hours. Knowing the number of hours that constitute part time is significant since benefits and overtime can be based on hours worked.
