päätoimisen

Päätoimisen is a Finnish term that translates to "full-time" in English. It describes an employment status where an individual works the standard number of hours for a full-time position within a given industry or company. This typically means working around 37.5 to 40 hours per week, although specific hours can vary. Full-time employment generally comes with benefits such as paid vacation, sick leave, and health insurance, which may not be available to part-time employees. The term is used in official documents, contracts, and discussions about employment. Understanding whether a position is päätoimisen or osa-aikainen (part-time) is crucial for individuals seeking employment and for employers defining job roles and benefits. It signifies a commitment and dedication to a role that occupies the majority of an individual's working capacity.
