Swedish term or phrase: timavlönade vs arbetstagare med timlön
Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to explain what the difference is between the two. I am coming up with
timavlönade = employees paid hourly, and
arbetstagare med timlön = employees with hourly wages

however in the section they appear (below), my translations don't make the difference clear enough to keep from sounding contradictory.

Thanks for your help!

För timavlönade betalas inte lön under sjukfrånvaron.
För tiden efter karensperioden till och med fjortonde dagen betalas sjuklön.
Arbetstagare med månadslön:
Sjuklönen är 80 procent av löneavdrag enligt detta avtal.
Arbetstagare med timlön:
Sjuklönen är 80 procent av den lön som skulle utgetts.

casual employment vs (regular) employee hourly wage
Explanation:
The first is people who don't have regular employment at the workplace, but are available for on-call work when this is offered. These get paid for the hours they actually work (after being called in) usually as substitutes and similar.

Regular employees are employed with scheduled work, either full or part-time, for which they are paid hourly wages (as in X amount per hour times scheduled hours/week over a period, usually one month).

As youf text explains, the latter get sick benefits (and holiday pay) while the former don't.
