Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / A list of staff working at a school
Swedish term or phrase: tjänstgöringsgrad
Förteckning över skolans lärare med angivande av utbildning, anställningsform och nuvarande tjänstgöringsgrad.

I suppose it relates to the percentage of a full-time contract but I need help with an official term in English. Any ideas?

percentage of full-time employment
Explanation:
"Sick leave is prorated based on the percentage of full-time employment."
http://compnet.comp.state.md.us/Career_Information/General_I...

"(10) the term `working percentage' means the percentage of full-time employment equal the quotient obtained by dividing--
(A) the number of hours per pay period to be worked by a phased retiree as scheduled in accordance with subsection (b)(2); by
(B) the number of hours per pay period to be worked by an employee serving in a comparable position on a full-time basis.""

I'm sure they have more appropriate terms for this in countries like Cuba and North Korea :)

If you google 'tjänstgöringsgrad', you'll get hits that are either related to the unions and employees wanting increased work hours, such as:

'Jag är tillsvidareanställd på 75 procent sedan 1997, men har nästan hela tiden sen dess jobbat 100 procent på halvårsvisa förordnanden. När kan jag få tillsvidare på 100 procent? Enligt KA får timvikarier och de som räknar las-dagar tillsvidare efter en viss tid. Varför gäller inte det oss som redan har en anställning? Be mig inte kontakta min sektion för de kan inte förklara detta.'

Or job adverts, where the hours are specified in percentage of full-time work, such as:

'2 sjuksktöterskor, tjänstgöringsgrad 100 % och 80 %
Gullspångs kommun Social verksamhet / Sjuksköterskejobb / Gullspång'

pay scale


Explanation:
In the UK, at least, (I can't speak for the US), we commonly refer to the pay scales of teachers depending on their position, experience, etc.

The reference below is from Hampshire County Council.

disagree  Sven Petersson: Not in this context!
3 hrs
  -> Unfortunately, Sven, there is very little context to go on. 'Pay scale' can refer to rank, hours worked, experience, level of pay, etc.
agree  SafeTex: Funnily enough, as some think it is 'time' and others 'salary', I think this is the only suggestion that can work while there is doubt.
