Part-timers do nearly all of the work for half the pay. Unless you are a millionaire I'd stay full-time.

I'm part time and do 22 hrs. Some in my office do 34. It differs between offices, no need to be so offensive... I bet you are a joy too be around.

Doesn,t work like that Jimmy, as any earnings over the personal allowance attract 20% tax, and also ni is charged at 12% above a lower limit. So effectively a person on 30 hours takes home a larger percentage of his gross pay than what a 40 hour guy does.
