A zero hour contract is an employment agreement. It does not oblige the employer to provide work for the employee but the employee is expected to be on call and receives compensation only for hours worked. Zero hour contracts may be ideal for retirees and students who want occasional earnings and are flexible about when they work but general workers run the risk of unpredictable hours and earnings. The National Minimum Wage Regulations require that employers pay the national minimum wage for the time workers are required to be at the workplace even if there is no "work" to do.

Don’t know what this means
@9LB57KS2wks2W
Yes, but at a higher rate of pay. As the employers aren't expected to have work for the employee yet the employee is expected to be available when needed.
@9L9R6WK2wks2W
Yes, but produce more full time/part time roles. A company should have to meet a percentage of workers who are equally full time, part time and bank staff
@9L879JS2wks2W
the profits of a company should be fixed to a threshold point for all buisnesses where any "EXCESS" profits are taken and put in to real estate brokers to help lower the cost of rental work spaces and increase innovation.
zero hours contracts would be irrelvant if people where self impoyed and we need programs and resorce networks that can provide any one with any qualification a Contract to create a buisness witrh the capital from taxation.
this is more important than the NHS HOSING CRISIS and everything else across the board without wealth generation (not money) we have no value money becomes inflated and because so many gov workers in london exist they will only vote for more of the same.
you won't win elections if the drug dealer is giving the people a good time
@9L5M3QK3wks3W
Yes, but only a limited number of zero hour contracts can be used by an employer as a percentage of their total employment contracts.

They should add on to the income instead of cutting it when they start earning
