These definitions were taken from Dictionary . com

Business Dictionary: Part-Time
Home > Library > Business & Finance > Business Dictionary

Employment that is less than a full-time organizational commitment on the part of the employee. Part-time employees usually do not receive the same health insurance, retirement, and other benefits full-time employees receive. For qualified retirement plan vesting purposes, part-time refers to an employee with less than 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period.

Full time
Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

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.





hope it helps
