degré d'occupation de 100%

English translation: full-time employment

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:degré d'occupation de 100%
English translation:full-time employment

French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / refund of business expenses
French term or phrase: degré d'occupation de 100%
This is Swiss French. Concerns regulations for refund of business expenses in the final section concerning fixed allowances for executive staff. It comes up twice: "montant de l'allocation forfaitaire pour frais pour un degré d'occupation de 100%" and "L'allocation forfaitaire pour frais est proportionnelle au degré d'occupation." I think it means that the amount depends on whether they are full time or part time or started in the middle of the year etc. but I can't think of a concise way of saying it in English, especially for director-level staff whose working hours are often not really fixed.
Any ideas greatly appreciated

Do you think we might expect the Directors to have their expenses written into their service contracts?

time-commitment rate


Explanation:
A proposal.
I would say what is meant here is the percentage of the time declared as time actually used for work duties by someone at a managerial position, with no fixed working hours.
If the value is 100 % then the person confirms that s/he devoted all the declared time to performing official duties, if the value is <100%, it means that the actually worked hours were less than initially declared. I hope this is all acceptable ....

neutral  Cetacea: You don't seriously think that any full-time employee would admit not having worked full-time...?

  -> No, ofc not. What is discussed here is NOT a full-time employment principle. It is about managers, directors, who do not have fixed working hours, their contracts of e. read: availability on a continuous basis, with accounting for the time actually worked

engagement level /degree of engagement


Explanation:
I think the manager whom it refers to may be at the loose end for some time between shifts, say he is "working", I mean he is ready to act on behalf of the company but the lenght of this readyness varies. For instance a cinema manager "stays idle" say between 2 AM and 8 AM but still he is not having free -time,although he may sleep in a nearby room. Similar times are found in shipping,transportation when the carrier waits for loading /unloading and of course its expenses are smaller than when being in full activity

business allowance amount for full-time employees


Explanation:
Hello,

I'd prefer to say "employees" to "employment". It sounds more natural to me in English.

I think they are referring to the business allowance amount for full-time employees.

I hope this helps.
