Question 7.4
Part time: a work relationship, with or without contract, in which the number of hours worked is less than that normally worked by other employees in the same category. It can either be:
a) horizontal: when the work is performed during the entire day but with reduced hours;
b) vertical: when the work is performed on certain days of the week, certain weeks or certain months of the year.
For employees, part time is established based on a formal agreement between the employer and the worker.
Self-employed persons can also work part time (for example, a storekeeper who only works mornings or afternoons works part time).
