English – The part-time employment ruling explained 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.
