Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Part-time employment is becoming increasingly popular and represents around 10% of all employment in the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on what motivates employers and employees to enter into a part-time employment agreement. Part-time employment can be advantageous for employees who want more time for family, study, or hobbies, but also for those who want to combine multiple jobs at once. On the other hand, part-time employment can be more expensive for employers than full-time employment, particularly in terms of administration and work organization. Therefore, it is important to consider the advantages and disadvantages before entering into a part-time employment agreement.
