Direct Hire

If you are directly hiring an employee, you first will need to decide if you need the employee on a full-time, part-time or short-term basis.

Full-Time vs. Part-Time Employees

There is no standard definition of “full-time” or “part-time.” Generally, you are free to determine the number of hours required for an employee to be considered full time versus part time. Some employers require employees to work 40 hours per week to be considered full time. Others designate as full time those employees who work as little as 24 or 32 hours.
