Deltidsbasert

Deltidsbasert refers to a work arrangement or study program where an individual works or studies for fewer hours than a standard full-time commitment. This means a person is employed or enrolled part-time, typically completing less than the usual 37-40 hours per week for employment or attending fewer courses than a full-time student. The specific number of hours considered "part-time" can vary by employer, institution, or country.

This arrangement offers flexibility for individuals who may need to balance work with other commitments such as family responsibilities, education, personal projects, or health reasons. For employers, offering part-time positions can broaden their talent pool and potentially reduce costs associated with full-time benefits. In education, part-time study allows individuals to gain qualifications or upskill while maintaining employment or other obligations.

Deltidsbasert employment can be structured in various ways, including fixed part-time schedules, rotating part-time shifts, or job-sharing arrangements where two or more individuals share the responsibilities of a single full-time position. Similarly, part-time study can involve taking a reduced course load each semester or term. The terms and conditions, including pay, benefits, and career progression opportunities, may differ for part-time employees compared to their full-time counterparts.
