Law/Patents - Human Resources / Employment Contract
French term or phrase: travail effectif ou assimilé
from an employment contract ....

Le salarie bénéficiera de congés payés dans les conditions légales et conventionnelles en vigueur, soit 2,5 jours ouvrables par mois de travail effectif ou assimilé et ce dans la limite de 30 jours ouvrables par an.

I realize this term has been on here before, but I'm still unsure how to phrase this in this particular context.

Yes, I understand this as Tony does, forms of employment that are "counted" as hours of work, while not necessarily being time at the desk.

I would also imagine this could apply to set assignments that are considered to be equivalent to a certain number of working hours regardless of how long they actually take to do, and overtime, where I do more than a month's worth of working hours in a calendar month.

disagree  Kim Metzger: We would need "equivalent" here. In a legal context, "similar" leaves too much to the imagination.

disagree  Cetacea: "similar" is definitely not a legally valid term.
