What is part-time work?

In part-time work, the working hours are at most 80% of a full-time employee’s working hours  applied in your sector.

If you do not know the maximum working hours applied in your job, you can ask your employer. The collective agreement applied is also usually mentioned in your employment contract. You can check the maximum working hours there. If the maximum working hours are not determined separately, we will apply 40 working hours per week, as stated in the  Employment Contracts Act.
