Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / collective labor agreement
Spanish term or phrase: franco
¿Alguien sabe cómo se dice "día franco", o cuando una persona está "de franco", es decir que tiene ese día libre porque trabaja por turnos y en esa jornada no le toca trabajar?. Pensé que era Leave of absence, pero significa una licencia, y no es lo mismo. Muchas gracias.
context: cuando por razones de fuerza mayor se haga indispensable el desarrollo de tareas, la empresa podrá citar a una cantidad razonable de personal que se encuentre de franco. Estos trabajadores tendrán derecho a gozar del franco compensatorio y el valor de su hora trbajada al cien por ciento.

neutral  spanruss: Perhaps in Britain. But we don't call a day off a "free" day in the US.

  -> No perhaps about it, and in Spain (Europe) we say "dia libre" rather than "franco"

agree  spanruss: I would say "scheduled" is unnecessary, except when differentiating types of days off.
