How to count weekly work hours for CEC

[forever21]

Hi guys! I have a quick question: How did you count your work hours? I've read somewhere that even though you worked over 30 hours a week (eg.38) you can only count this week as 30?! Is that true? :-\

There is no need to count hours at all if you work full-time, defined as "at least 30 hours per week." You simply work for a minimum of one year (52 weeks).

If you work part-time (defined as fewer than 30 hours per week), you do have to document your weekly hours, so that you can calculate your time in terms of the full-time equivalent. For example, if you work 20 hours per week for 12 weeks, that's 240 hours. If you divide 240 by 30, you'll see that you have the equivalent of 8 full-time weeks. Or, you work until you have reached the full-time equivalent of one year (1560 hours). 52 weeks * 30 hours per week = 1560 hours.

If you work 20 hours one week, 35 the next, total will be 50 hours, because you can only count up to 30 hours per week (because that is the full-time equivalent).

thank you jes_ON! We are all safe with our hours, working full time since June 2013, but it's kind of odd how they don't count hours over 30 ???

There is simply no need. Why would you count hours when you meet the definition of full-time?

I'm not counting them because we have over 12 mths of full time employment. Just wondering in general how they count it for part time applicants, and it seems strange that you cant count over 30 in one week. But hey rule is a rule ;D
