HR Glossary
What is Part-Time Employee?
A worker who is regularly scheduled to work fewer hours per week than the organization's standard full-time threshold, typically under 30 to 35 hours, with employment terms that may include reduced benefits eligibility.

Part-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.
