full time / part time


Explanation:
I'm not sure there is a direct equivalent in the UK. Usually you see the full-time / part-time distinction, or the hours expressed as "FTE" (full-time equivalent):

"Full-time/part-time status

People who are in work can be further categorised as being in full-time or part-time employment.

There is no agreed international definition as to the minimum number of hours in a week that constitute full-time or part-time work and the approach differs depending on the data source used.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) asks people to classify themselves as either full-time or part-time, based on their own perceptions. However, people on government-supported training schemes, who are at college in the survey reference week, are classified, by convention, as part-time.

Currently in employer surveys (and in the 2001 Census), people are classified as part-time if they work 30 hours or fewer in a week, and full-time if they work more than 30 hours a week. etc"

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/data/guides/LabourMarket/...

"Work Pattern" is something similar:

"

Work Pattern

Work pattern is a similar concept to full-time/part-time status and the number of hours worked in that it refers to the schedule of hours that a person works in their employment.

Work patterns can differ in a number of ways. Two people working the same number of hours during a given reference period may nevertheless differ in their work schedules."

If it's the actual hours worked then you could use "working hours" (expressed as a percentage of the FTE)
