päätoimisia

Päätoimisia is a Finnish term that translates to "full-time" in English when referring to employment or a role. It signifies a position that requires an individual to dedicate their standard working hours to a particular employer or task. This contrasts with part-time employment, which involves fewer hours and may allow for other commitments.

In the context of work, a päätoiminen employee typically receives benefits associated with full-time status, such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement contributions, depending on the employer's policies and national labor laws. The exact definition of full-time hours can vary, but it generally implies a commitment to a significant portion of a standard workweek.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe someone who is fully devoted to a particular activity or endeavor. For instance, an artist might be described as a "päätoiminen taiteilija," meaning they are a full-time artist, dedicating all their working time to their creative pursuits. This usage emphasizes complete dedication and focus on a single primary occupation or passion.
