This is the 7057th most frequent Korean word.


정규직

"정규직" means "a permanent or full-time employee."


"정규직" refers to being employed full-time and having the benefits associated with such a position, as opposed to temporary or part-time employment.

저는 이제 정규직으로 일하고 있습니다.

I am now working as a full-time employee.


Here, "정규직" represents the aspiration or goal of attaining a full-time position.

정규직이 되기 위해 열심히 일하고 있어요.

I am working hard to become a regular employee.


In this context, "정규직" is contrasted with "계약직" (contract-based employment) to highlight employment differences.

그 회사는 정규직과 계약직의 차이가 명확합니다.

That company clearly distinguishes between full-time and temporary employment.
