In the employee census, which field indicates whether an employee works full-time or part-time?

• A. FT/PT
• B. Employment Type
• C. Work Schedule
• D. Job Status

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a census records full-time versus part-time status. The field labeled FT/PT directly encodes whether an employee is full-time or part-time, making it the clearest and most straightforward indicator for this distinction. This kind of label is specifically designed to capture that binary classification, which is essential for benefits eligibility, headcount, and reporting.

Other fields refer to related but different aspects: Employment Type typically covers contract type (permanent, temporary, seasonal) rather than hours worked; Work Schedule describes the actual hours or shift pattern, not the general full-time versus part-time status; and Job Status indicates whether the employee is active, on leave, or terminated, not their full- or part-time classification.
