Employees are typically classified as either full-time or part-time, and they may be paid either on an hourly or salaried basis. Generally, full-time employees work for an employer for at least 35 hours per week and are eligible for benefits such as vacation pay, sick leave, and health insurance. Part-time employees, on the other hand, typically work fewer than 35 hours per week and may not be eligible for the same benefits as full-time employees.
