Pay and Other Benefits in a Part-Time Employment Relationship

The guiding principle for part-time employee is that the salary and other terms are defined in accordance with the percentage of working hours for full-time employee's salary and benefits. Salary of an employee, therefore, is reduced proportionately according to the agreed working hours. Other “shareable” benefits (such as lunch benefit) can also be given out proportionately according to the part-time working hours.

However, it is important to note that part-time employment cannot be subject to less favourable working conditions than other employment relationships simply because of the length of working time, unless there are objective reasons for doing so.
