A full-time employee is an individual who is employed by a company or organization on a regular basis and works a standard number of hours per week, typically 35-40 hours. This type of employment is typically considered to be a long-term commitment and may include benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans. Full-time employees are expected to work the designated number of hours and may be required to work additional hours as needed. They are also typically eligible for promotions, salary increases, and other career advancement opportunities within the company. Full-time employees are often contrasted with part-time employees, who work fewer hours and may not receive the same benefits and opportunities.
