travelling


Explanation:
Domaine(s) : - commerce
- vente personnelle

français itinérant adj.
anglais travelling

Définition :
Qui est obligé de voyager pour assurer sa fonction.

Note(s) :
Ex. Personnel itinérant, notamment l'équipe de vente : exposition itinérante, etc.

[Office de la langue française, 1983]

français travailleur itinérant n. m.
anglais itinerant worker

Définition :
Travailleur rattaché à une organisation, mais dont le travail exige de fréquents déplacements.

Sous-entrée(s) :
synonyme(s)
salarié itinérant n. m.
itinérant n. m.

Note(s) :
Les tâches du travailleur itinérant peuvent découler de la demande de la clientèle, comme c'est le cas de vendeurs ou d'hommes de service, ou encore de la nature du travail, des travailleurs d'entreprises de transport, par exemple.
En anglais, le terme itinerant worker désigne également un travailleur qui n'occupe pas d'emploi permanent et qui se déplace au gré de la demande : le travailleur migrant. Le terme français itinérant est employé comme nom ou comme adjectif pour désigner la personne qui se déplace dans l'exercice de ses fonctions.

I know it is a long read, but please note \"itinerant worker\" as an alternative. Michael\'s \"roaming employees\" seems to make sense, although I thought that the term \"roaming\" did not apply to persons. I may be wrong...
