Traditionally, full-time work has been defined by the 40-our work week; however, this distinction has transitioned to include a 35-hour and even 32-hour week. On the other hand, part-time employment is generally characterized by no standard of hours for an employee to meet weekly. This does not mean to suggest that it is impossible for a part-time worker to reach or exceed a 40-hour work week. In fact, many workers classified as part-time will work full-time hours regularly; however, they will not be guaranteed the work, nor will they qualify for any of the perks that full-time employee enjoys. |
