Article 3

A staff member shall be entitled, during the period for which part-time work is authorised, to a percentage of his remuneration corresponding to the percentage of the normal time worked. However, the percentage shall not be applied to the dependent child allowance, the basic amount of the household allowance or the education allowance.

Contributions to the sickness insurance scheme shall be calculated by reference to the basic salary payable to a staff member working full time. Contributions to the pension scheme shall be calculated by reference to the basic salary received by a staff member working part-time. The staff member may also request that contributions to the pension scheme be calculated by reference to the basic salary payable to a staff member working full time, in accordance with Article 90. Acquired rights, for the purposes of Article 1 of Annex V, shall be calculated in proportion to the percentage of contributions paid.

During the period of part-time work, the staff member may not work overtime or engage in any gainful activity, other than an activity in accordance with Article 17.
