What does full time contract mean?

A 'Full Time Contract' refers to a work arrangement where an employee is hired to work full-time hours, usually 35-40 hours per week, but on a contractual basis rather than as a permanent staff member. This means the employment is for a set period, such as six months or a year, and may have defined start and end dates. Full-time contract employees often receive similar benefits as permanent employees, such as health insurance or paid leave, but their job security and long-term prospects may be limited to the contract duration. This type of contract is common in industries that require flexibility or have project-based work.
