INTRODUCTION
In this report we are going to talk about the types of work and it is important because labor
benefits include various types of compensation provided by employers in addition to regular wages.
Work is any activity, manual, that a person does in exchange for a salary. The objective is to obtain
a profit with which to stabilize in order to access consumer goods, housing, food and other basic
needs raised in the capitalist economy.
Employees hired through a temporary agency do not enjoy benefits or receive compensation
from the worker directly. Instead, the temp agency pays the employee to work on demand at various
client locations as needed. Temporary employment agencies send employees to clients who need
seasonal, temporary, part-time, or contract-possible employees. These contract positions can be
full time but only last a few weeks or months. Some companies use temp agencies as recruiters for
permanent employees in contract temp positions to determine if the worker is a good match for the
company.
Companies that offer products or services may experience an increase in workload during
specific seasons. In these cases, the company hires a small team of permanent full-time employees
and hires temporary or seasonal workers to help during peak demands. Temporary employees fall
under the category of part-time employees who work only a few months of the year. Seasonal
workers typically do not receive insurance or retirement benefits or qualify for vacations.
Also, the payment that can be obtained for a job can not only be used to solve basic needs,
but also to acquire other types of goods, such as clothing, technological items, trips, among other
elements that people can to enjoy.
TYPES OF WORK
CHAPTER I. CASUAL, PART-TIME AND FULL-TIME WORK
1. Casual Work Definition
In this sense, casual work refers to the labor activity of independent workers, street vendors,
domestic service workers, window cleaners, among others. These types of jobs are generally poorly
paid and offer poor working conditions. In addition, because they do not have the proper legal
protection for labor relations, they are jobs without social protection, which do not provide
economic stability for workers. In casual employment, situations such as non-payment of wages,
dismissals without compensation or notice periods, the requirement to work overtime or
extraordinary shifts, as well as non-compliance with social benefits, such as pensions, sick leave
or insurance health, are situations in which workers are vulnerable and unprotected.
1.1. Adventages of Casual Work
 Saving money.
 Less burden for the government that can be concentrated towards the sectors that generate
competitiveness.
 Provide an opportunity for personal expression.
1.2. Disadventages of Casual Work
a. Employer: The disadvantages for the employer in relation to the use of temporary workers
fall mainly into two categories: the insufficiency of the workforce and the legal
implications. A disadvantage of using contingent workers involves the possibility of a lack
of talent at critical moments. That critical talent gap can result from known unavailability,
or an inability to locate talent for a specific project, even though such talent does exist. In
the legal category, abuses of contingent worker status have resulted in national labor laws
and labor laws in some states incorporating strict definitions of what legally constitutes a
contingent worker. In some cases, even the use of a third-party employer, such as a
temporary agency, has not protected employers from a legal determination that workers
classified as contingent by the company qualify as employees of the company and are
subject to to the same benefits as the other workers of the company.
b. Employee: The disadvantages for the worker also vary with the particular circumstance.
The most consistent drawback across all levels of the contingent workforce is that work
may not materialize, or even exist, when the worker needs income. Also, with some casual
work, such as seasonal retail work or some types of temporary assignment, a downside is
the reality that overall compensation rates fall below those of workers hired directly to
perform jobs. Finally, contingent workers either receive few or no benefits, or must
implement and administer such benefits with their own funds.
2. Part-Time Job Definition
The term “part-time worker” refers to any salaried employee whose normal working hours
are less than those of full-time workers in a comparable situation.
We refer to workers in a comparable situation because the number of weekly or monthly
working hours considered normal for full-time employees may vary considerably depending on the
profession or activity in question.
For example, the number of hours a teacher spends in the classroom each week, without
taking into account class preparation time, is clearly lower than the number of hours a worker in
industry spends in the classroom. Similarly, a worker on a weekend shift may have reduced hours,
but receive a salary equivalent to full-time pay. As for the normal working hours.
2.1. The Difficulty of Making International Comparisons
The situation becomes considerably more complicated when trying to compare the spread
of part-time work in different countries, since the expression, whose normal working hours are
shorter than those of full-time workers in a comparable situation, is translated in various ways in
national legislation. In France, for example, a person is considered to be working part-time if the
hours worked are less than four-fifths of the normal working day, while in Spain the proportion is
two-thirds and applies to hours determined by collective agreement or practiced in the company;
in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the criterion is that less than 30 hours are worked per week, as
indicated in a study on the subject published by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development).
The same applies to statistical definitions. Some countries distinguish between part-time
and full-time work according to a threshold of usual weekly duration: 30 hours in Finland, Canada
and New Zealand; 35 in Australia, Austria, Iceland, Japan, Sweden and the United States; 36 in
Hungary and Turkey; 37 in Norway. Eurostat publishes data for 14 European Union countries
(excluding Sweden) and Iceland, based not on a threshold but on the assessment of those
concerned. Finally, some countries, such as Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom, combine both methods. In Spain, for example, people who report working part-time but
work more than 35 hours per week are counted as full-time workers; on the other hand, those who
report working full-time but work less than 30 hours are classified with part-time workers (Van
Bastelaer, Lemaître and Marianna, ibid.).
It should be added that some people work part-time for family reasons and are not available
to work more, so their situation is considered "voluntary" since, if they had good childcare services,
for example, they would prefer to work more.
On average, part-time workers earn less per hour than their full-time counterparts. It may
happen that the difference occurs in the same company and in equivalent jobs, but this is rather
rare. The difference becomes apparent when looking at workers as a group, and this is due to several
factors: part-time employees tend to work in sectors and, within those sectors, in activities that pay
modest rates compared to the national average. They also tend to be employed in menial jobs and
are excluded from supervisory positions.
2.2. Advantage of Part Time Job
 Flexible hours and less stress. working part-time allows you to choose which times of the
day you prefer to be busy and which you prefer to spend resting. Fortunately, fewer working
hours equals more time for disconnection and leisure.
 Possibility of combining several jobs. If you don't have a busy workday, but you want to
earn more money, you can consider the option of moonlighting.
 Easier to study. Combining work and studies is much easier when you have a part-time
job. While it is true that online training makes things much easier, a part-time job will allow
you to dedicate time to your studies in a more relaxed way.
 More leisure time. One thing is clear: not everything in life has to do with work. And if
we do not disconnect, we will perform less during our working hours. Take advantage of
your free time to enjoy activities that you like.
 Springboard for experience. Part-time jobs don't usually offer much continuity or
financial support. However, in most cases they serve to gain experience and fluency in the
labor market.
2.3. Disadvantages of Part-Time Job
 It can cause understaffing at times.
 It can create difficulties scheduling meetings or coordinating projects.
 Difficulty measuring working hours and performance of part-time workers.
 Could negatively affect employee income and benefits.
 It could negatively affect the employee's career advancement.
 The employee may be seen as less engaged by colleagues.
 Monitoring issues.
 The employee's other job duties must be reassigned.
2.4. Differences between Casual Job and Part-Time Job
Figure 1
Differences between both types of work
Casual Job
•Is the hiring of workers on a sporadic or intermittent
basis, often for a specific number of hours, days or
weeks, in exchange for a wage determined by the
terms of a daily or periodic work agreement. Casual
work is a characteristic feature of informal wage
employment in low-income developing countries,
but it is also emerging in industrialized economies,
especially in “gig economy” or “gig economy”
jobs”.
Part-Time job
•Part-time jobs are those that work less than 30 hours
per week. And what is the attraction that companies
find in this type of work? When it comes to full-time
contracts, companies are forced to maintain a stable
and always regular salary. But in part time contracts
they have the option of establishing salaries
proportional to the hours worked, which is an
advantage for the company.
Note. Adapted from a web page, you can find it in the references.
However, for example, Chilean legislation is quite rigid with part-time jobs. In other
countries it is possible to compensate the hours worked between several weeks if one of them has
been worked less. But in Chile these cases are not contemplated. The same thing happens with
something as common as overtime: being part-time jobs, only a maximum of 10 overtime hours
per month are allowed.
Indeed, these are not the only characteristics of part-time jobs. Also keep in mind that:
 A company that offers all the guarantees and that has all the labor legalities must be
selected.
 The rights of a part-time worker are the same as those of a full-time worker.
 The working day should not exceed 32 hours per week and 10 hours per day, with a break
of 30 minutes to 1 hour.
 If the contract is equal to or less than 30 days, it must be signed, ideally within the
employee's first 5 days of work. Otherwise, the maximum time is 15 days.
 This type of employment, like full-time jobs, is favored with AFP and health benefits.
 The reasons for dismissal are the same as for any type of contract and are included in articles
159, 160, 161 and 163 of the Labor Code.
 Applicants must have a high sense of responsibility and commitment, which is highly
valued by employers.
3. Definition of Full Time Job
A full-time job or full-time job is a job that occupies the person for a period of time close to the
maximum daily working day set in each country, that is, between 7 and 9 hours a day, every
working day of the week. The opposite is part-time work. (Adams, 2020)
3.1. Benefits of a Full Time Job
Full-time employment often comes with benefits not available to part-time workers.
 Health insurance
 Life insurance
 Time off or paid vacation
 Work sickness insurance
 Retirement or retirement accounts
3.2. Definition of Other Countries
a. Australia: about 38 hours; Belgium: 38 hours; Brazil: 40-44 hours; Chile: 45 hours;
Canada: 37.5-40 hours; Denmark: 37 hours; France: 35-hour week, Germany: 35-40 hours;
Iceland: 40 hours; India: 48 hours (per the Factories Act of 1948, a person cannot work
more than 48 hours per week).
b. Taiwan: 40 hours; Israel: 43 hours; Italy: 40 hours; Netherlands: 35-40 hours; Norway: 40
hours (often set at 37.5 excluding lunch break); Poland: 40 hours; Russia: 40 hours;
Sweden: 40 hours (not formally defined)
c. In the UK: 35 hours (not formally defined); 37.5-hour or 40-hour contracts are also
common.
d. In the United States: 30 hours or more, according to the definitions of the Affordable Care
Act.891011 «The North American Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define neither
full-time work full or part-time work. This is considered to be determined by the employer.
3.3. Advantages of Working Full Time
 The main advantages of working full time are:
 Fixed schedule: It is a type of contract in which the working hours are well defined and
established.
 Higher salary: The remuneration for the work performed is higher than in the case of parttime contracts.
 Better place of work: The place of work that he occupies is his own, so the worker feels
more comfortable.
 Greater bonding with colleagues: In general, people with full-time jobs have more bonds
with their colleagues than those who work part-time. (Nelson, 2021)
3.4. Disadvantages of Working Full Time
a. Working full time means that the work absorbs most of our effort, time and dedication.
Sometimes, the limits of full-time work are exceeded, causing stress or demotivation among
workers.
For example: A young person who studies and works at the same time, produces that he
does not rest well, with that comes the stress, like bad attitude with the others, and worse
still when the student has a final exam and at the same time must work, with this it creates
the frustration.
b. If the salary is not too high, it makes it difficult to work in another job to compensate the
income or makes it difficult to combine work with studies.
For example: A father with an engineering degree works as a cook, but the money he earns
is not enough to pay for his degree, but he needs the money for his children, so he leaves
his career for a full-time job.
c. With a full-time job you have less time for your personal life, either dedicated to leisure or
to your family, so the reconciliation of childcare is more complicated.
For example: A teenager who works full time is sometimes deprived of going to parties or
are so exhausted that they do not have the energy to go out, as well as commitments, such
as a sibling's birthday, as they will not be able to attend because they have to work that day.
3.5. Labor Work in Peru
The work schedule is the distribution of the workday in each of the working days. Unlike
the workday, the schedule determines the exact time of the beginning and end of the work. For
example: if a worker works from Monday to Saturday and enters at 8:00 a.m., he/she has a onehour snack and leaves at 5:00 p.m. The working day, on the other hand, comprise the time that the
worker is at the employer's disposal to perform the activities for which he/she was hired
In Peru, the maximum working day is 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week. Exceptions are
contemplated for special cases, in which the workday is required to be alternative, cumulative or
atypical.
With that established, it is also key to follow the regulation of breaks. In the case of snacks,
they are considered a right of workers who have an uninterrupted work schedule.
Although the schedule and time is established by the employer, it must be at least 45
minutes. Another aspect to take into account is that, unless otherwise agreed, the snack is not part
of the working day or schedule and it is not possible to grant it before or after working hours.
3.6. Workers' Vacations in Peru
According to current Peruvian regulations, workers are entitled to 30 calendar days of
vacation rest for each full year of work. In addition, the vacation remuneration must be paid before
the beginning of the worker's rest.
3.7. Difference Between Part-Time Job and Full Time
a. Full-Time Jobs. There is no exact definition available for the term “full-time job.” The
range of working hours for any employee should be maintained within 32-40 hrs (per week)
by the employer. These are the main criteria used for differentiating jobs as full-time or
part-time. But, there are various other specifications available for defining full-time jobs.
These specifications vary with respect to the different government departments. One of the
most important things to be remembered while having the respective discussion by
considering the above-mentioned criteria, specifications, and definitions, is that these are
not legally binding. But, what if an employee works more than 40 hrs? This situation is
referred to as “Overtime,” and the employer has to pay the employee for the extra hours
accordingly. Usually, many companies keep their working hours around 35 hours, but some
high demanding jobs can raise their bar to 40 hrs.
b. Part-Time Jobs. It’s a no-brainer. If the employee works less than the hours demanded
from a full-time employee, the employee is said to be working for a part-time job. We
understand the respective definition is not a solid as concrete, but there isn’t one. The
employee has to work accordingly, depending on the instructions given by the employer.
The part-time workers are usually assigned with the task and deadlines and decided to
depend upon the amount of work given, making it easy for them to work according to their
convenience.
CHAPTER II. TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT JOB
1. Temporary Job
Temporary employment, in which workers are hired only for a specific period of time,
includes fixed-term, project-based or task-based contracts, as well as casual or seasonal work,
including day work. (ILO, 2022, p.01)
Temporary job began to draw particular policy attention about three decades ago when its
use became widespread in the labor market. (International Labor Organization, 2022, p.01)
1.1. Fixed-Term Contracts
Project-based or task-based, are contractual agreements between an employer and an
employee characterized by a limited duration or a predefined event that terminates the contract.
Fixed-term contracts have always existed in labour markets and serve specific purposes.
They provide flexibility to enterprises to respond to changes in demand, such as due to seasonal
fluctuations, to replace temporarily absent workers, or to evaluate newly hired employees before
offering them an open-ended contract. For these enterprises, temporary employment may bring
challenge for the firm, including on how to manage workers in different type of arrangements but
performing similar tasks; it also risks leading to underinvestment in training and innovation and
hence lower productivity. (International Labor Organization, 2022, p.01)
1.2. Purposes of the Temporary Employment Contract
It is good to consider that, as a temporary worker, you could be hired and paid through a
personnel agency that, in turn, is paid by the hiring company. Although a person can also post their
own temporary job search ad, by comparison it is best to do so through a staffing agency because
it is more efficient and deals directly with recruitment, payroll and HR issues.
They’ll also make sure that your employee complies with legal and tax requirements when
hiring someone as a temporary worker. Remember that by working as a temporary employee, you’ll
be able to deduct some of your work expenses on your tax return; such as expenses caused by
transportation from your home to the workplace in your own vehicle, vehicle repair expenses, etc.

regarding work schedules, and flexibility

Note. Adapted from Comparison between advantages and disadvantages, (2018 - 2021)
2. Permanent Jobs
A permanent employment contract can be defined as one in which the passage of time does
not in itself constitute a valid cause for the termination of the employment relationship. It should
be noted that our legal system recognizes the worker's right to enjoy a permanent employment
relationship over time; consequently, this type of contract must be assumed as the ordinary and
typical mechanism (despite the fact that in practice it is verified as the most unusual assumption
within companies).
The motivation and commitment of permanent employees depend, among other factors, on
their perception of their employer: their objectives, their values, their way of articulating labor
relations. On the other hand, social security, the confidence and comfort of a "permanent job" turns
out to be the natural aspiration of the vast majority of people. Both professional and nonprofessional. (Universia Business Review, 2013, p 03).
2.1. Characteristics of Permanent Jobs
Due to this fact, this type of hiring has some characteristics that define it:
 It does not require formality for its validity: it can be agreed in writing, verbally, either by
express or implied declaration. The absence of a written contract therefore does not imply
that the worker does not have the status of such and that he is restricted from the rights
that assist him. Nor will it require the employer to include it in the administrative form for
it to have a valid existence.
 Non extinguishable by unilateral decision of the employer: The sole decision of the
employer may not terminate the employment relationship maintained, there must be other
objective causes that may legitimize the unilateral termination of the contract (disciplinary
dismissal, retirement, death, etc.).
 Extinguishable by decision of the worker: On the contrary, the indefinite-term or
permanent contract may be terminated at any time when the worker wishes unilaterally.
Notwithstanding this, he will be obliged to notify the employer within a reasonable time
in order to avoid damage to the company.
2.2. Advantages
 There is the certainty of covering the basic needs of the family: permanent work generates
a fixed income; this adds family security even when the income is low.
 Fixed income allows short-term planning: You can design a spending plan with a high
level of certainty, since you have a salary.
 There is a specific work schedule: Time is distributed based on the hours that will be
dedicated to permanent work, some can do their housework after work or continue
studying.
 A certain degree of personal and professional development can be achieved: by working
for a company, the worker can opt for courses, workshops and other training methods and
establish new contacts.
 There is the possibility of receiving salary increases from time to time: in some
companies, workers receive incentives, bonuses and increases due to promotions and
other benefits.
2.3. Disadvantages
 As the type of income is fixed, there is a ceiling for expenses: which means that generally
it will not be possible to cover more than basic expenses.
 Creative capacity is disabled: in many companies there is no freedom to innovate internal
processes, so the employee only follows the pre-established routine.
 There is always the risk of being fired or not renewing the contract: you are subject to the
employer's opinion, if he wants us to continue in our job.
