full-time salary

Regular employment pay

A full-time salary is compensation paid to an employee who works the standard number of hours considered full-time by their employer—typically 35 to 40 hours per week.

Unlike hourly wages, a salary is a fixed annual amount divided into regular payments regardless of exact hours worked: Her full-time salary comes out to about $60,000 a year.

The term often implies benefits like health insurance and paid leave that part-time positions may lack.
