1. A "permanent worker" means a manual worker who is not a member of the family of thefarmer and who is in permanent employment on the holding, by which is meant employmentthat is continuous and regular, either full-time or part-time, throughout the year.
The worker concerned is a wage earner in the strict sense of the term, being a worker who ispaid regularly and who, on the basis of an oral or written contract of employment, works"throughout the year", subject, of course, to the seasonal variations inherent in agriculturalwork.

(b) a "permanent part-time worker" is a worker who, under the terms of his contract ofemployment, is required to work throughout the year for a number of hours which issmaller than the contractual or usual number of hours of work, but greater than 15 hoursper week.
