Describe Part-time working.
Part-time working refers to weekly basic hours that are less than full-¬time. The number of hours worked will depend on the nature of the job and will be agreed by employer and employee.
Examples of part-¬time hours: three full days per week, five half days per week, etc.
Part-time hours are commonly scheduled to cover peak periods such as first thing in the morning or at lunch times.
Describe Full-time working
Employees are required to work a set number of hours per day (commonly 9 a.m.–5 p.m.), five days per week. The average full-time week in the UK is 41 hours, the longest in Europe.
Describe Flexi-time
Employees may vary their starting and finishing times so long as they complete a minimum amount of hours per month. The only restriction is that employees must be present at busy or important times of the day, known as core times. Core times vary from organisation to organisation but are likely to be 10 am–12 pm and 2 pm–4 pm. Outwith these times, employees can choose their own start and finish times.
