Reasons for Hiring Part‐Time Workers

Abstract

Based on a survey of organizations that have collective agreements covering part‐time workers, this study reveals that flexibility in scheduling work and employees' preference for part‐time work are the two most important reasons for hiring part‐time workers in unionized organizations. Unlike most of the literature on part‐time work and workers, this study's results suggest that savings in wages and benefits are of minor importance in hiring part‐time workers covered by collective agreements.
