Full time
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A permanent full-time job usually has benefits (such as health insurance), however, temporary full-time jobs usually do not have benefits. Full-time jobs are often considered careers. They usually pay more than part time jobs, and always carry more hours per week. The most common full-time work week in the US is between 32-40 hours. In France it is a government-mandated 35 hours per week. In Germany it is between 35-40 hours per week. Also in Australia it is around 35-37 hours per week. And in the UK it is 37.5 hours a week.
“Full-time” can also be used in reference to a student (usually in higher education) who takes a full load of coursework each semester.
