Work experience - variable hours

Quick question - I worked the same job for 2 years, but my contracted number of hours changed twice during that time (June -Dec 2012: 35.5 hrs per week, Jan 2013- June 2013: 28.4 hours per week, June 2013 to Sept 2014: 21.3 hours per week).

Should I put this in my application as three separate jobs? Or just as one job, claiming just the 6 months at which I was over 30 hours per week? My letter from my employer specifies exactly the three contracted periods, and I also have the revised contract from each time as well.

I did not bother to count but below 30 hours its part-time and you combine hour should be 2 years. you have to put these separately I guess.

Sorry I should clarify - this isn't the only work experience I'm claiming, I had two other full time jobs for 3.5 years. I just didn't know whether I should enter this job in my work experience as only the six months when I was over 30 hours per week? Or also include the other two contracted periods even though they won't count towards points?

No, this is foreign work experience.
So you can only claim points for maximum of three years. Before submitting you express entry profile just show three years of experience in work history section(for which it should be continuous for at least one year or equal amount of part-time), you can show other experiences after you get invited under personal history section.

Just choose experience with best documents available.
