If I work 45 hrs one week nd 20 hrs week next week, is it 1 full time week or 2?

[RegularGuy]

Hi,
I was calculating my full time work weeks for CEC and this question came to my mind. If I worked 45 hours for one week and 20 hours the next week, will it be considered 2 full time weeks worked or just one full time week. The pay stub would still states total hours worked in two weeks as 65, which is above the CIC minimum of 30 per week. Pls help me understand this as I may have to decline ITA.

any week over 30 hours counts 30 hours
any week under 30 hours counts exact hours

 

[RegularGuy]

But I don't know which weeks I worked less then 30 hours as the pay stubs only mentions hours worked in two weeks. And most of them are over 64 hours for two weeks pay cycle. How should I go about it then ?

 

[RegularGuy]

And my reference letter states that I have been "working on average 36+ hours every week". Now I am really confused. Pls help

If there is no way to differentiate between the weeks i.e. its always the case that 45 hours is followed by 20 hours, then you can count the entire 2 week period as full time. If in any 2 week period the number of hours is less than 60 then count that as part time.

OK. I have found my paychecks and I have now -

23 paychecks of 2015 above 70 hours (46 full time weeks)
2 paychecks of 2015 for 30 hours mean 2 full weeks (4 part time weeks)
2 paychecks of January 2016.(4 full time weeks)
Now 46+2+4 = 52 weeks

Till January 30, 2016

Received ITA on Feb 10, means in my 54th week.
Should I give myself a little more room or go ahead with the existing ITA ?

 

[RegularGuy]

Anyone ?

Go ahead. If you have employment documents (reference letter) for this entire duration then it should be ok.

 

[Aragorn165]

any week over 30 hours counts 30 hours
any week under 30 hours counts exact hours

Does this mean that if I have, for example, 25 hours of employment per week, that counts as 25 hours, and not 15? I was under the impression that part time work always counts as 15 hours, and full time always 30 hours- anything beyond these baselines is not counted.

Go ahead. If you have employment documents (reference letter) for this entire duration then it should be ok.

I have the reference letter but I don't know how many hours I worked in any specific week. I mean 45 + 25 situation during pay cycles.

Hi this is what you do:

1) Using your paychecks count the number of weeks worked 'full-time' and the number of weeks worked 'part-time'

2) Then when your employer is drafting your letter state the following:

'RegularGuy' worked from (Date) to (Date) in a full-time capacity at an average of 'X' hrs per week.

In addition 'RegularGuy' worked from (Date) to (Date) in a part-time capacity at an average of 'Y' hrs per week.

During the tenure of his employment 'Regular Guy' received an average pro-rated salary of $Z.

When uploading the letter your payslips will re-enforce the contents of the letter.

If any more help is needed, please let me know.

It doesn't matter what hours you worked which week, what the pay-stubs & reference letters state (assuming they don't contradict each other) is what you worked for CIC.

Assuming they state you worked full time.

This is what I have found from my paychecks.

You should be good to go...provided you get that clearly mentioned in your reference letter, and if you feel it may need additional explanation, attach and LoE with it.
