What is Full-Time Employee?

A worker who is regularly scheduled to work the standard number of hours defined by their employer as full-time, typically 35 to 40 hours per week, and who generally qualifies for the organization's full benefits package.

Why it matters in hiring

Full-Time Employee comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
