Abstract

Payroll data from over 12,000 employees in the Finnish retail sector reveals significant differences in working hour characteristics between part-time and full-time workers.

  • Morning shifts were more common among full-time employees (48-51%) compared to part-time employees (27-30%).
  • Part-time employees frequently worked evening shifts (43-46%), while full-time employees had evening shifts only 26% of the time.
  • No significant differences in working hours were found based on sex.
  • Minor age group differences in working hours were observed, limited to part-time employees.
  • The new codification for working hour data may facilitate the identification of individual differences in working hour characteristics.
