Frequently asked questions
What are part-time hours?
Part-time hours vary from business to business, but all are based on the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which sets limits on how many hours employees can work in a single week before the business has to pay overtime.
Forty hours per week is considered full time by many businesses, though some have adopted lower numbers and specific definitions vary.
Based on the way your business defines full-time, a part-time work schedule is one in which team members work less than that number.
Part-time scheduling usually hovers around 20 hours per week but can extend up to 30 hours, 35 hours, or even 39 hours.
What are the benefits of part-time scheduling?
Part-time scheduling comes with many benefits, including:
- Lower costs: Part-time employees are often less expensive for the business than their full-time counterparts.
- Diversity: Part-time scheduling gives your business more of an opportunity to assemble a diverse team.
- Flexibility: Part-time scheduling may make it easier for your business to respond quickly to changes in workload.
- Recruitment and retention: Part-time scheduling is often more family-friendly because it demands less time on the job. This may be viewed as a benefit by many employees and can increase your recruitment and retention.
What’s the best way to incorporate part-time scheduling?
Many businesses find success with a mix of part-time scheduling and full-time scheduling, where full-time employees take on the bulk of the workload and part-time employees serve in a support capacity.
Other businesses thrive with only part-time employees who work a mix of hours to cover all shifts.
At the most basic, it depends on what works best for your company, so take the time to examine how your business runs and how part-time scheduling would best fit into your system.
