Equal treatment between part-time workers and full-time workers; equal remuneration for overtime work

Summary/Abstract: The paper is dedicated to the equality of treatment between part-time workers and full-time workers. The first part analyses EU legislation prohibiting discrimination against part-time workers. This legislation states that in respect of employment conditions, part-time workers shall not be treated in a less favourable manner than comparable full-time workers solely because they work part-time unless different treatment is justified on objective grounds. Relevant case-law of the CJEU interpreting the conditions of remuneration of part-time workers compared to full-time workers is discussed. The second part is dedicated to the Czech national law relating to part-time work. It focuses on the notion of overtime work with respect to employees with reduced working hours and extra pay for overtime work. The compliance of the Czech national law with the EU legislation prohibiting discrimination against part-time workers and its interpretation in the case-law of the CJEU is analysed.
