The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 42
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Part-time workers should receive paid annual leave equivalent to that of comparable full-time workers and proportionate to hours of work. A failure to include part-time workers in the scope of legislation will lead to inequality between men and women where a higher proportion of women rely on part-time work, for example, when returning to work after maternity leave.
