One of the most important decisions and investments you will make as a business owner is the hiring of new staff. Some employers need more part-time staff to remain flexible for fluctuating needs, while others require a consistent and predictable full time workforce, which can be more cost effective and sustainable for business success.
What’s the Difference Between Part-Time and Full-Time?
Part-time employment requires fewer hours of work in a regular workweek. Part-timers get paid on an hourly basis, which guarantees that they get compensation that is worth the amount of work that they do. Additionally, the schedule is often very flexible; usually to the convenience of both the employer and the employee.
Full-Time Employment is when an employee works approximately 40 hours per week. They enjoy the benefit of security of tenure provided by the Philippine Constitution and just like locally, cannot be terminated for causes other than those provided by law and only after due process is given to them.
Common roles being hired as part-time
As a business owner, you may lean towards hiring a part-time employee – particularly for new roles or those with routine responsibilities. It’s a good way to “get your feet wet” and test out having these roles on board to see if they bring value to your business, thus hiring one part time is a cost effective compromise.
However, successfully training an employee for a role takes a considerable amount of effort and mental investment both on your part and the candidate’s part. Thus having to hire part-time employees to undergo the same process of administrative onboarding and training may be disproportionate in terms of cost. It’s best to understand the current needs of your company and create decisions that would benefit you and your business’ success long-term.
