When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

employment contract
I would say simply "employment contract" as Senior Executives are not ordinarily eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time anyway. So this is implied in such contracts.
If forfait has to included for some reason, ie to distinguish between a contract not including this, it could be said as "employment contract without overtime pay."

philgoddard
: A valid point, and I'm all for taking liberties, but I don't think you can ignore "forfait".

sure you can; it's superfluous

Thomas Roberts
: There is no legally valid reason why you can't pay overtime to senior employees, even if this rarely occurs in practice.

Tony Shargool
: Senior Corporate Execs are simply not involved in these contracts. (The tasks are implicitly already part of their jobs).
