Employment: Full Time, Part Time, Flexi Time
Extract: "Once you start employing people, you can choose to
appoint them full- or part-time, use temporary or contract staff to cope with peaks
in demand for your product or service or, where it's not essential for them to be
at your place of business between specific hours, allow them to work flexi-time.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the nature of your business,
and the types of employment you offer will naturally be driven by the specific demands
of your business. You may choose to offer some full-time '9-5' posts and some flexi-time,
or seasonal variations may dictate that temporary contracts work well for your business.
There are no hard and fast rules governing what may be good or bad about a particular
way of employing people. Use your own judgement and common sense, and listen to
advice from friends or your business advisor."
