My wife is a dental hygienist and is looking for a new employment in the Raleigh Durham area.?
The place she is now refuses to offer paid vacation time after being employed two years and working four days a week. She is paid for 36 hours a week and the dentist claims since she does not work 40 she is not full time.

That's not good.. tell her to look on Craigslist.org under healthcare jobs, theres usually doctors or clinics looking for Dental hygienists.

I cannot believe that he is saying that. Almost every definition of full time (like to be eligible for 401-k plans) is based on working 1000 hours per year. A 36 hour week puts her way over that. The dentist sounds like a greedy jerk that does not appreciate his staff. Legally I doubt that anything can be done as to vacation policy, like the requirements for profit sharing and health insurance. But if that is how he is treating your wife and how much he appreciates her, I would have her look for another job, find one, and give her 2 week notice. She could just leave without notice after her current pay check and tell him that seeing she is not full time, she didn't think she had to give 2 week notice. Good luck to her.
