what is full time work in other countries
Working time Standard working hours (or normal working hours) refers to the legislation to limit the working hours per day, per week, per month or per year. If an employee needs to work overtime, the employer will need to pay overtime payments to employees as required in the law. Generally speaking, standard working hours of countries worldwide are around 40 to 44 hours per week (but not everywhere: from 35 hours per week in France[3] to up to 112 hours per week in North Korean labor camps)[4] and the additional overtime payments are around 25% to 50% above the normal hourly payments.[citation needed] Maximum working hours refers to the maximum working hours of an employee. The employee cannot work more than the level specified in the maximum working hours law.[5]
Temporary foreign worker program in Canada The Temporary foreign worker program or TFWP is a program of the Government of Canada to allow employers in Canada to hire foreign nationals.[1] When the program started in 1973, most of the workers brought in were high-skill workers such as specialist doctors.[2] In 2002 a "low-skilled workers" category was added; this category now makes up most of the temporary foreign workforce.[2][3] In 2006, the program was expanded and fast-tracking introduced for some locations.[2] It was revised again in 2013, raising wages, charging employer fees, and removing the accelerated applications.[4]
