part-time work

Part-time work refers to a form of employment in which an individual works fewer hours than a full-time job, typically less than 35-40 hours per week. Part-time employees may work specific hours or days, often with more flexibility than full-time positions. This type of work arrangement is common in various industries, including retail, hospitality, education, and healthcare. Part-time work can be beneficial for individuals seeking a balance between employment and other responsibilities, such as studies, family care, or pursuing other interests. It can also provide employers with a means to manage workforce needs without committing to full-time positions. Part-time workers may have different benefits and pay structures compared to full-time employees, and their employment terms can vary significantly across companies and countries.
