Spanish to English translations [PRO] Bus/Financial - Human Resources / employment contract
Spanish term or phrase:funcional u horizontal
From an employment contract, from Panama, just after the first clause where position and duties are described:
EL TRABAJADOR podrá ser movilizado de forma funcional u horizontal, según lo establecido en el
artículo 197-A del Código de Trabajo, sin que ello implique alteración de las condiciones de trabajo.
Thanks in advance!
I think this is the most natural way to express this idea in English. Another version could be: The employer may modify the employee's duties or position... 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
To my understanding funcional means in regards to department needs and horizontal within the same level the person was hired, hope this helps. Saludos!

EL TRABAJADOR podrá ser movilizado de forma funcional u horizontal...
THE WORKER's duties or position may change...
Explanation: Jose's analysis is correct, but a literal translation here results in language that is unnecessarily opaque.
Suerte.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks very much Robert. This type of wording does show up more on google.
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
