Part-Time Employee

A part-time employee works less than the normally scheduled daily or weekly hours of work of a full-time employee of the same occupational group and level. These employees are subject to the terms and conditions of employment specified in their respective Collective Agreements. Entitlements will be determined by pro-rating the full-time entitlement in accordance with the number of hours in the assigned part-time work week.

If the employee is working one third or less than the normal weekly hours of a full-time employee, they are not subject to the collective agreement and are thus not required to pay union dues. These employees are also not eligible for certain benefits such as the Bilingual Bonus, Disability insurance, Public Service Management Insurance Plan, and Public Service Dental Care Plan.
