The minimum weekly working threshold has been lowered to 1/10th of a full-time schedule, instead of a third previously. This change opens the door to shorter, more flexible jobs, suited to students, pensioners, people with disabilities, informal carers or those who cannot work many hours. It also makes it possible to officially declare small tasks that would otherwise risk remaining undeclared work. The result: more opportunities, better social protection for workers and fairer tax revenue for the State.
