Part-time working: a survey
Article Abstract:
A 1997 UK survey found most companies used part-time staff as a way of increasing flexibility. Clerical jobs were the most common use of part-timers, although 50% of the companies surveyed had part-time management personnel as well. The survey found a broad range of definitions for part-time employment, ranging from 16 to 39 weekly hours. Almost 25% of those surveyed said many of their part-timers were actually former full-time employees. The survey found a large employee demand for part-time hours. Employers cited logistics in arranging company meetings as one of the main problems in using part-timers.
