Worker Disadvantages
Part-time workers usually do not receive benefits such as health insurance, sick leave, holiday pay or vacations. When they are not working, they earn no income, which may prove detrimental during sudden illnesses or if they need to take a break. When times are bad, they are typically laid off before full-timers, because they have less time on the job and do not have the expertise of full-time workers. Part-timers may not be promoted as quickly as regular employees, if at all.
