Legal Usage of Contractual (agent) in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Contractual (agent):’Contractual’ means ‘laid down in a contract’ (e.g. ‘contractual terms’), it does not mean ‘under contract’. Although the term is widely used in this latter way in the institutions, it does not appear at all in the current Staff Regulations or in the Conditions of Employment of other Servants.

Example

‘The breakdown of staff employed at 31/12/2009 by the executive agencies was as follows: Temporary agents (officials seconded by the Commission and agents recruited by the agency) | Contractual agents | Seconded national experts | Total |53.’

Alternative contract (staff).
