Question

The difference between part-time work and job sharing is that a. people in job-sharing positions still receive benefits because they are essentially filling a full-time position, while part-timers do not receive benefits. b. jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees. c. a firm saves money by hiring part-timers to do full-time work by classifying them as part-time, but if they classify two part-timers as job sharing, they must pay them more than they would a part-time employee. d. part-timers work individually—they simply come to work, do their jobs, and leave—whereas people in job-sharing positions work more on teams. e. part-time work requires people who have more skills than does job sharing, where one person can have certain skills, and the person he job shares with has skills he does not.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees.

Explanation:

Job sharing is defined as when more than one person is hired to perform the duties of a full time employee. This arrangement is usually done to create flexibility for the employees involved. They spend less time on the job than does a full time employee.

Part time work on the other hand involves employees that work in jobs that requires a short completion time. They work less time than the full te workers.

Answer 2

Answer:

b. jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees

Explanation:

Based on the scenario been described, we can say that the difference between part time job and job sharing is, jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees, so option b is the correct answer. In part-time job, job are done in short period of time, whereby the employee will come and do his/her job within a short period of time and leave, while job sharing is a full time job but is been shared among full time employees to do their turns.
