Summary

Part-time workers are protected from being treated less favourably than equivalent full-time workers just because they’re part time. A part-time worker is someone who works fewer hours than a full-time worker. There is no specific number of hours that makes someone full or part-time, but a full-time worker will usually work 35 hours or more a week.
