2014/22 How to compensate part-timer for lacking company car (NL)

Instead he received financial compensation. The compensation was designed to represent 40% of the value of the company car benefit for a full-time (80-100%) employee. The Human Rights Commission found that 40% was not enough. The plaintiff should have received 50%, being half of the value of the use of a company car by an 80% employee.

Part-time employees and fixed-term employees are entitled to the same employment conditions as comparable full-time employees and employees on open-ended contracts, respectively. An employer may only provide less favourable employment conditions for a part-time or fixed-termemployee if this is justified on objective grounds.

Eleven teachers claimed unlawful discrimination on this basis, arguing that the terms of employment under a collective agreement for different types of school that they used as a benchmark, were better than their own terms of employment. The Supreme Court did not agree that this constituted discrimination.
