Half-time Pay

Half-time pay refers to a payment structure where an employee receives compensation that is half of their regular hourly wage during specific periods. This typically occurs when an employee works less than their standard hours, perhaps due to part-time status, reduced hours, or during a leave. For example, if a full-time worker earns $20 an hour and switches to half-time, they would receive $10 an hour. This system ensures that employees are compensated fairly based on their actual hours worked while accommodating flexible work arrangements or budget constraints.
