Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

Part-time workers have important rights under the Part-time workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (PTWR). The regulations give part-time workers the right to be treated no less favourably than a comparable full-time worker. This includes the right to the same contractual holiday entitlement, reduced pro rata to their hours. For example, part-time workers who do not normally work on Mondays or Fridays must not be treated less favourably than their full-time co-workers in relation to bank holidays and bank holiday pay.
