part-timers
Not full-time employees
Part-timers are people who work less than a full schedule, typically fewer than 35 or 40 hours per week.
The term often carries a slight edge—distinguishing the uncommitted from the dedicated: The part-timers leave at five while the rest of us stay late.
It can also describe anyone not fully committed to an activity: Weekend part-timers clogging up the golf course.
