Comparable Permanent Worker
A permanent employee used as a benchmark for equal treatment with fixed-term workers.
Definition
A 'comparable permanent worker' is defined as a worker with an indefinite employment contract or relationship, in the same establishment, engaged in the same or similar work, due regard being paid to skills and qualifications. This comparison is fundamental to applying the principle of non-discrimination, ensuring that fixed-term workers receive equivalent treatment to their permanent counterparts unless objectively justified.
