Part-Time Percentage (part-time fraction) Explanation: In England/UK, part time work is anything less than full-time, which is around 35hrs/wk (more or less). http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/employees/flexiblewor... I usually rate Hilan quite highly, but if you want UK English then I would be concerned that when doing an Advanced Google Search, it only brings up a handful of hits (57 when I tried)....in addition, it's not an expression I'm familiar with (and I've worked in England almost exclusively since reaching working age). I would opt for the expression "part-time percentage" as this does have support from UK pages on Google and is a very clear way of expressing the meaning. See the following: "Current part-time hours: the number of hours you were contracted to work compared to the equivalent full-time post at the calculation date. This is expressed as a part-time percentage. If you're full time your part-time percntage is 100." http://www.saul.org.uk/3active/benefit_statements.html "To calculate your full time equivalent your employer provides us with your part-time percentage. This is the number of hours you are contracted to work compared to the equivalent full-time post expressed as a percentage. For example a member working 20 hours a week, where the full-time post would be 40 hours a week, would have a part-time percentage of 50%." http://www.saul.org.uk/3active/pt.html There is also some, albeit less, support for part-time fraction. http://www.bradford.ac.uk/briefing/we-19-may06.php Reference: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=27864 |

Regular part time job/position Explanation: I would add the percentage in (), e.g., the employee holds a regular part time position (75%) I have also seen: "Regular Three-Quarter time Employees" - in the link, but it's from a US site not UK. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2012-06-18 12:46:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Could also say appointment percentage - as Gad suggested :-) OR percentage of appointment if it suits your sentence better.
