Advantages of a Permanent Job
There are three main types of employment contracts
Fixed-term contracts - for temporary workers, usually hired to complete a specific task or project.
Casual contracts – for temporary workers, with no set number of hours to be completed.
Permanent contracts - for long-term workers, filling necessary roles & positions.
In the Uk the most common type of contract is a permanent employment contract, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is right for you. Here are a few points you may want to consider - What are the disadvantages & advantages of a permanent contract?
Job security
Having a permanent job provides financial security as permanent workers receive a fixed monthly salary, that remains consistent and the same every pay day. This allows for financial stability and makes covering financial commitments like rent or mortgage payments easier to cover. Most permanent jobs are PAYE which means salaries are taxed at source so no need to do your own tax returns. All tax and national insurance contributions are deducted from your pay before you receive it by the company you work for.
Benefits
Permanent Jobs offer benefits, like sick pay, health care, holiday pay & pensions, depending on the employer. This helps workers to strike a healthy work-life balance and promotes a positive work ethic and can give you peace of mind, that should something happen, like illness, you will still receive your pay regardless.
Career development opportunities
Being offered a permanent contract can make you fell that this isn’t just a job, this is a career!
Most companies invest in their permanent staff, sending them on training, development schemes and encourage them to move up in the company and to apply for new challenging roles or promotions. Good companies secure talented workers long-term by offering permanent contracts and a working environment that encourages the development of new skills and career growth.
How many hours per week do you work in a permanent job?
A permanent job doesn’t necessarily mean a full-time job. Permanent contracts can be both full-time, most commonly 35 hrs or more per week and part time, less than 35 hrs per week. Even if your hours are part time you will still benefit from the financial security of a set wage. However, some part time positions may not offer all the benefits that a full time position might.
If you think the challenges and benefits of a full or part time permanent job are for you - look no further, you are in the right place!
