An employer must endeavor to decide the wages (other than the commutation allowances and other such wages specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) of the part-time/fixed term workers it employs (other than part-time/fixed term workers equivalent to workers with standard employment statuses; the same applies in paragraph (2) of the following Article and Article 12) while making considerations for equilibrium between them and workers with standard employment statuses, and in consideration of their job descriptions, job performance, motivations, abilities, experience, and other particulars of their actual employment situations.
事業主は、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（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。次条第二項及び第十二条において同じ。）の職務の内容、職務の成果、意欲、能力又は経験その他の就業の実態に関する事項を勘案し、その賃金（通勤手当その他の厚生労働省令で定めるものを除く。）を決定するように努めるものとする。
