Preferred term

part-time employment  

Definition

  • Part-time employment is a formalized work arrangement where an employee works fewer hours than what an employer judges to be customary for a full-time employee. For legal and comparative purposes, the U.S. Department of Labor defines part-time employees as those working 1–34 hours during a typical work week and full-time employees as those working 35 or more hours during a typical work week.
