It is a sex discrimination if you offer different conditions based on sex, not on hours worked. If part time workers have the same offer no matter the sex, then it is quite bizarre to build a sex discrimination case.
- pmyteh 7y agoIn Britain, it's definitely something you need to watch out for. > indirect discrimination - putting rules or arrangements in place that apply to everyone, but that put someone with a protected characteristic at an unfair disadvantage (from https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights/how-you-can-be-discriminated-against https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights/how-you-can-be...). There have definitely been cases around aspects of part-time working which have been held to be indirect discrimination because men are (were?) overwhelmingly full-time and women not. It is also possible to make a justification defence for indirect discrimination, though I don't know 'how good' your justification would need to be.
