Where was the shrinking, frightened, unbidden guest of a moment before, with downcast eyes and burning cheeks? I will not perjure myself at his bidding; but being with him, I will kneel to him unbidden. It came to him suddenly and unbidden, and it lay, a chilly weight, over all his consciousness. And still it stayed there all dayâthe unbidden ghost-guest of his soul.
Such employees might begin to think of themselves as full-time employees and expect full-time benefits. For that reason, some employers write the definitions in a manner similar to this: Full-time employees are those who are regularly assigned to work at least 40 hours each week.
The standard for full-time was typically 40 hours a week in the past. However, many employers consider employees as working part time based on a different schedule i.e. under 30 hours or 35 hours a week, for example. A part time job is a position that requires employees to work a lower number of hours than would be considered full-time by their employer. An employee is considered part-time if he or she works less than 35 hours per week, for example, or works below the number of hours that the employer considers to be full-time.
