Are you asking because you wish to receive benefits? If so no employer has to pay any employee benefits.
I think the question you may have wanted to ask was whether one employee working 35 hours a week receives benefits and another one (you) works 37 hours and does not receive benefits. That would probably be illegal especially if, for example, all males received health insurance and females did not. That does still happen although illegal.
For overtime wages it makes no difference what you are called (full time, part time, etc...) the general rule (there are exceptions) is that any week worked over 40 hours means the employee receives 1.5x their regular rate of pay.
