A permanent full-time job usually has benefits (such as health insurance), however, temporary full-time jobs usually do not have benefits. Full-time jobs are often considered careers. They usually pay more than part time jobs, and always carry more hours per week. The most common full-time work week in the US is 40 hours. However, some companies define full-time as 37.5 hours, or 35 hours, or whatever they deem appropriate for their business. In France it is a government-mandated 35 hours per week. In Germany it is between 35-40 hours per week. Also in Australia it is around 35-37 hours per week.

“Full-time” can also be used in reference to a student (usually in higher education) who takes a full load of coursework each semester.

At my job, it depends on how many hours you work. I think less than 20 means your part time. Anywhere from 20-40 is full time.

And my job doesnt let part timers get the discount.

In most work places in the US part time is any work time under 36 hours per week. Most Part-time jobs don't carry any benifits. If you work part time for more than a set amount of time (forgot the amount) by law they must consider you full-time. Full time is usually considered 36-40hrs. In hourly wages, if you clock more than 40 hours, they have to pay overtime which is time and a half of pay.
