ABSTRACT

When the normal weekly work time of the worker is established substantially less than an equivalent worker employed on a full-time labor contract, such contract is a part-time labor contract. The worker employed on a part-time labor contract can not be subjected to any procedure different than a full-time equivalent worker merely on the grounds that his/her labor contract is a parttime one, unless a reason justifying such discrimination exists. Divisible benefits of the part-time worker pertaining to wage and money are paid in proportion to the employment time compared to the full-time equivalent worker. Part-time work, with the adoption of the Labour Act No. 4857 became a legal regulation. Part-time work has been expected to improve the level of employment. However, the five-year review period, as expected, a result of regulation is not provided.
