Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. The number of people working part-time has increased dramatically over the last ten year not just in Britain but also throughout the European Community. In many cases companies are convering full-time jobs to part time positions. For example, in late 1992 Burton announced that 1000 full-time shop jobs were to be replaced by up to 3000 part-time posts. The main difference, of course, between working part–time is in the number of hours worked. A part-time employee will work less than the standard opening hours of the company. In some cases two part-time employees might share one full-time job-i.e.they do the work between them. Employers may prefer part –time staff because the company’s wage bill is reduced. The employers also saves on National Insurance payments if part-time staff earn less than the lower earings limit. Part-time staff are more flexible. They can be used to cover for absent staff and work extra hours when the company is busy or wants to open longer hours. In addition part-time staff do not have the same legal rights in employment law as full-time staff unless they work more than 16 hours a week.Those working fewer than eight hours a week can never gain protection.
