part-time workers
Not full staff
Part-time workers are employees who work fewer hours than full-time employees, typically under 30-35 hours per week.
The designation affects eligibility for benefits, overtime, and legal protections.
The company relies heavily on part-time workers during the holiday season.
Part-time work may be by choice or necessity—students, caregivers, and retirees often prefer it, while others take part-time jobs when full-time positions aren't available.
