A part-time employee works fewer hours than a full-time employee but is still entitled to certain benefits such as paid leave and superannuation contributions.
Their work schedule is typically consistent but does not meet the full-time threshold (usually less than 38 hours per week).
For example, if a part-time employee works 20 hours a week, they will accrue leave at a rate proportional to their hours worked.
Part-time positions provide flexibility for employees who may have other commitments, such as education or family responsibilities.
