Ah, interesting. In the US, I'm pretty sure that would fall under part-time, as part-time isn't necessarily fixed hours. My first job was at a fast food place, and most of the time I was part-time and my hours varied - our schedules were determined weekly, and often it seemed as needed, though I usually had at least a certain number of hours.
