Spanish term or phrase: trabajador de planta
Pero transcurrido este plazo adquirirá la calidad de trabajador de planta, salvo pacto en contrario con el Sindicato.

I had a lot of points counted off on a test I took last year by translating this as "plant worker". What should it have been?

in-house / full time employee
Explanation:
En español (al menos en mi país) un trabajador es "de planta" cuando trabaja a horario completo, con contrato y en el recinto del empleador. "Planta", en este caso, no tiene nada que ver con fábrica ni industria. "De planta" es una expresión.

Suerte.

agree  Mario La Gatto: That's it!
1 hr
  -> Thank you very much, Mario. Several possibilities, will depend on industry and context.
neutral  Sandra Cifuentes Dowling: "Planta", en este caso, no tiene nada que ver con fábrica ni industria. Es una expresión para referirse a trabajadores contratados versus trabajadores freelance.
1 hr
  -> Thank you, Sandra. Then "leased employee" is another possibility.
neutral  Hebe Martorella: no se trata de esto aquí tal como dice Sandra
5 hrs

agree  Hebe Martorella: versus employee "at will"
3 hrs
  -> Claro. Gracias, Hebe.
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: In-house or "regular." "Full-time" refers to number of hours worked; for 2 years I was once a permanent employee with full vested benefits but worked only half-time.
10 hrs
  -> Right. You can be in-house but not full time sometimes. Thanks, Muriel
