Spanish term or phrase: personas funcionales (empresa)
Una cita más del informe trimestral:

"
El desvío en tasa de carga refleja el menor porcentaje de cotización a la seguridad social de las personas funcionales de la sede en comparación con los empleados productivos.
"

Qué quiere decir "personas funcionales" acá? Acaso "temporales"?

Gracias

neutral  AllegroTrans: they do not work at home// you seem not to know that "home office worker" is practically a standard term for someone who works in their own home, i.e. remote working

  -> Of course they don't. They work at the home office, otherwise known as "la sede." AllegroTrans, you seem to be unfamiliar with the term "home office staff". It is not related to people who work from home. It refers to those who work at the home office

neutral  Enrique Soria: Neilmac, please note the distinction between "a home office" (a person who works from home) and "the home office" (a person who works at the company's principal place of business). American native speakers understand this distinction.
