Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000

Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000

The Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 is a UK labour law measure which requires that employers give people on part time contracts equal pay to people on full time contracts who do the same jobs. It implements EU Directive 97/81/EC, and forms part of the European Unions programme to combat discrimination of atypical workers. Because the large majority of part time workers are female, it is also an important attempt to combat sex discrimination.
