A permanent part-time employee is someone who works regular and ongoing hours, but fewer hours a week than someone working full-time. Part-time employees have access to the same entitlements as a full-time permanent employee, but on a pro-rata basis according to the hours worked.
An example of a part-time permanent employee is someone who regularly works the same 3 days a week for eight hours each day, for a total of 24 hours a week.
