Many employers find that providing supplemental benefits, such as retirement plan benefits, can help them recruit and retain an experienced workforce to serve in a variety of roles that include seasonal and part-time positions.
While the number of part-time positions in the U.S. has declined over the past few years, in the second quarter of 2023, more than 26 million people worked part time. This creates a unique situation for many employers that have to decide whether their part-time employees should receive many of the same benefits as their full-time employees.
