To be employed for the standard number of hours per week.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Spain, the 'jornada partida' is common, where people work full-time but have a 2-3 hour lunch break. However, 'jornada intensiva' (working 8:00 to 15:00) is very popular in the summer. The term 'tiempo completo' is often used to describe academic positions. A 'profesor de tiempo completo' is a prestigious tenure-track role. In Argentina, working full-time often implies a 'relación de dependencia' (being a formal employee), which is highly valued for the social security benefits. The legal work week was 48 hours, but a new law is gradually reducing it to 42 hours. 'Tiempo completo' is currently transitioning in meaning.

💡

The 'A' is Key

Always remember the 'a'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.

⚠️

Don't say 'Soy tiempo completo'

In most countries, you say 'Trabajo a tiempo completo'. Saying 'Soy...' sounds like you ARE the time itself.
