ZERO-HOUR CONTRACTS

zero-hour contracts

Under such contracts,  an employee is only paid for the hours the employer needs them. Employees agree to make themselves available for work as and when required – frequently on very short-notice-, but have no guaranteed hours or shift patterns.The employee is expected to be on call and receives compensation only for hours worked.

The employer typically asserts that they have no obligation to provide work for the employee.
