What is a regular full-time or part-time employee?
A regular full-time or part-time employee is one hired for an indefinite duration with consistent scheduled hours, as opposed to temporary, seasonal, or per-diem workers. Regular employees are typically eligible for the full benefits package and have ongoing employment expectations. Full-time and part-time status is set by the employer (no federal definition) and usually determines benefits eligibility, with full-time often defined as 30+ or 40+ hours per week.
