It works two ways. Before a noun it is an adjective: a year-round resort, year-round sunshine, year-round employment. After a verb it acts like an adverb, and then people often drop the hyphen: 'The pool is open year round.' The heart of the word is contrast — you use it when a listener might expect the thing to be seasonal.
