Sharma v Manchester City Council [2008] IRLR 336 (EAT)
Under the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000/1551), once it is found that the part-timer is treated less favourably than a comparator full-timer and being part time is one of the reasons, that suffices to trigger the regulations. The fact that not all part-timers are treated adversely does not mean that those who are cannot take proceedings for discrimination if being part-time is a reason for their adverse treatment.
