EC, as the principle of proportionality(pro-rata temporis) should apply to the receipt of working conditions and(social) benefits in case of part-time work. There is a possibility that the application of proportionality may negatively affect the ability of employees who hold multiple jobs to be able to enjoy their leave during longer, uninterrupted periods, as they need to negotiate leave days with several employers. However, the non-inclusion of the principle of proportionality currently leads to a situation wherein a part-time worker is entitled to the same number of annual leave days as a full-time worker, even when the part-time worker would, for instance, only work 1 day per week. RECOMMENDATIONS Ensure that the principle of proportionality( pro-rata temporis) applies to the working conditions and benefits of part-time workers, in line with relevant international labour standards. However, at the same time, the Government and social partners must, to the extent possible, ensure that part-time workers who work multiple part-time jobs are in a position, in practice, to fully enjoy the benefits they are entitled to under all part-time jobs they hold. 4 Working hours 4.1 Weekly limits of working hours Legal Review Article 24(2) of the Labour Code states that“standard working time shall not exceed 40 hours a week.” Paragraph 3 further specifies that“the duration of standard working time in enterprises with specific operating conditions requiring more than 8 hours of uninterrupt­ed production/work process shall not exceed 48 hours a week.” According to the Labour Code, the list of industries with specific work regimes has to be approved by the Govern­ment of Georgia, however, so far no resolution has been adopted.
