It depends on what the legal definitions of full- and part-time work are in your jurisdiction. Many jurisdictions have regulations that defines work categories by the number of hours per week or per month a person works, not always the number per day. It would then be quite possible for someone to work full-time hours, so long as they remain below the maximum number of hours per week or month. Alternately, what constitutes full- and part-time work may not be defined by legislation, but could fall under the collective agreement in force at an employer. In this case, the collective agreement would define the number of hours per day, per week, or per month that would constitute part-time employment.
