Types of Employment - JSS3 Civic education Lesson Note

Full-time Employment: Full-time employment refers to a job where an individual works a standard number of hours per week, typically 35 to 40 hours, and receives regular wages or salaries. Full-time employees often enjoy benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid leave.

Part-time Employment: Part-time employment involves working fewer hours than full-time employees, often less than 35 hours per week. Part-time workers may have flexible schedules and receive pro-rated benefits based on their hours worked.

Temporary Employment: Temporary employment, also known as contract or seasonal work, involves hiring individuals for a specific period or project. Temporary workers are often hired to meet short-term staffing needs or address fluctuations in workload.

Self-Employment: Self-employment entails individuals working for themselves rather than being employed by an external entity. Self-employed individuals manage their businesses, freelance services, or work as entrepreneurs, assuming full responsibility for their income, expenses, and operations.
