Alberta > Employment Law > Hours of Work:

I was hired for a full-time job, but I work less than 40 hours per week, and sometimes, when there is not much work, by boss cuts back my hours to only about 32 hours a week. Is there a minimum number of hours that I must work in order to be “full-time”?

The Employment Standards Code does not define full-time in terms of a number of hours. This may be defined by your employment contract or the personnel policies of your place of employment. If not, you may ask to negotiate a definition of full-time hours with your employer.
