Equal treatment of part-time employees

The Court of Justice of the EU on 3 October 2019 issued a judgement in case C-274/18, Minoo Schuch-Ghannadan vs. Medizinische Universität Wien, concerning the issue of equal treatment in employment. According to the Court, EU law precludes national legislation which provides to the fixed-term employees indicated therein a longer maximum period of employment relationships for the part-time employees than for comparable full-time employees, unless such different treatment is justified by objective reasons and proportionate.
