Teilzeitbeschäftigung

Teilzeitbeschäftigung, or part-time employment, refers to working fewer hours than a full-time job, typically less than 35–40 hours per week. It allows employees to balance work with personal or family commitments, offering flexibility and often resulting in a lower income compared to full-time positions. Employers may hire part-time workers for specific tasks or to manage workload fluctuations. Part-time jobs can be voluntary or mandated by regulations, and in many countries, part-time workers are entitled to certain benefits, though these may be proportionally less than those for full-time employees.
