\n

In Canada, a part-time employee is someone who works less than 30 hours a week. This could mean someone might work 10 hours per week or 29 hours a week and still be considered a part-time employee. Part-time employees also might not be able to take advantage of benefits that full-time employees enjoy, such as health coverage, paid holidays and more.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Loan options for part-time workers<\/h3>

There are a couple of different types of loans that part-time workers can explore: personal loans and installment loans.<\/p>

Compare installment loans<\/h3>

Installment loans come in larger amounts and with longer terms than their personal loan cousins, though they\u2019re generally smaller than your average personal loan. They can also come with higher rates than personal loans. You can typically borrow up to $2,000 or more and take 3 months to a few years to pay it off.<\/p>
