The Part-Time Judgment has been decided
The case about the Part-Time Judgment has now been decided.
FOA and other trade unions have won the case. This means that part-time employees have been treated unfairly.
According to EU rules, part-time employees have been paid too little when they worked extra hours up to 37 hours per week.
What does the judgment mean?
The judgment is very clear:
If you are not employed for 37 hours per week – and you work more hours than your contract – you must receive overtime pay for the extra hours.
This also applies even if you do not work more than 37 hours per week.
What happens now?
FOA has started a large amount of work. We must find out:
- how a claim should be calculated
- how far back in time compensation can be paid
- how the case should be handled
We must first talk with the employers. Because of this, the work will take a long time.
There may be many thousands of employees affected.
What do you need to do?
Right now, you do not need to do anything.
👉 FOA will contact you when we are ready to start your case.
Until then, we ask you to:
- be patient
- not contact FOA about timelines or case status
We will inform you as soon as there is new information.
Finally
Congratulations to all part-time employees. This is an important victory.
Kind regards,
FOA
