Unless a part-time/fixed term worker with the same job description (other than a part-time/fixed term worker equivalent to a worker with a standard employment status; the same applies hereinafter in this paragraph) already has the abilities needed for the job in question and with the exception of any other case specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, an employer must also implement the educational training for its part-time/fixed term workers with the same job description that it implements for its workers with standard employment statuses to give them the abilities they need for the job duties in which they are engaged.
事業主は、通常の労働者に対して実施する教育訓練であって、当該通常の労働者が従事する職務の遂行に必要な能力を付与するためのものについては、職務内容同一短時間・有期雇用労働者（通常の労働者と同視すべき短時間・有期雇用労働者を除く。以下この項において同じ。）が既に当該職務に必要な能力を有している場合その他の厚生労働省令で定める場合を除き、職務内容同一短時間・有期雇用労働者に対しても、これを実施しなければならない。
Beyond as prescribed in the preceding paragraph, an employer is to endeavor to provide educational training to the part-time/fixed term workers it employs while making considerations for equalization between part-time/fixed term workers and workers with standard employment statuses, in keeping with their job descriptions, job performance, motivations, abilities, and experience, and other particulars of their actual employment situations.
事業主は、前項に定めるもののほか、通常の労働者との均衡を考慮しつつ、その雇用する短時間・有期雇用労働者の職務の内容、職務の成果、意欲、能力及び経験その他の就業の実態に関する事項に応じ、当該短時間・有期雇用労働者に対して教育訓練を実施するように努めるものとする。
