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 This means they cannot claim for unfair dismissal and do not receive other benefits such
