What is a part-time employee?

A part-time employee is an individual who works less than 40 hours of a standard workweek. Part-time employees typically do not get the benefits full-time employees receive, including health insurance, paid vacation, or profit-sharing. Part-time employees may still be paid an annual salary or hourly. It is at a company’s discretion which roles they want to delegate to part-time employees rather than full-time employees.

Examples of part-time employee positions:

  • Accountant
  • Brand ambassador
  • Cleaner
  • Chef’s assistant
  • Dishwasher
  • Event host
  • Nurse
  • Personal Support Worker
  • Warehouse manager
