# The Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, Regulation 3: Workers becoming part-time


(1) This regulation applies to a worker who—
(a) was identifiable as a full-time worker in accordance with regulation 2(1); and
(b) following a termination or variation of his contract, continues to work under a new or varied contract, whether of the same type or not, that requires him to work for a number of weekly hours that is lower than the number he was required to work immediately before the termination or variation.
(2) Notwithstanding regulation 2(4), regulation 5 shall apply to a worker to whom this regulation applies as if he were a part-time worker and as if there were a comparable full-time worker employed under the terms that applied to him immediately before the variation or termination.
(3) The fact that this regulation applies to a worker does not affect any right he may have under these Regulations by virtue of regulation 2(4).
