The Framework Agreement on part-time work concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC - implemented by Directive 97/81/EC - protects part-time workers from being treated less favourably than full-time workers and provides that employers should give consideration to requests by workers to switch from full-time to part-time work or vice-versa.
Okvirnim sporazumom o radu s nepunim radnim vremenom koji su sklopili UNICE, CEEP i ETUC - provedenim Direktivom 97/81/EZ - štite se radnici s nepunim radnim vremenom od toga da se prema njima postupa na manje povoljan način nego prema radnicima s punim radnim vremenom i predviđeno je da bi poslodavci trebali uzeti u obzir zahtjeve radnika za prijelaz s punog radnog vremena na nepuno radno vrijeme ili obrnuto.
