Do you support the use of zero hour contracts?

0 hour contracts are good but employers should respect when they give them a particular set of hours for months/ years they shouldn’t suddenly drop the hours to nothing.

Yes, with a higher minimum wage, no exclusivity clauses and other regulations to prevent employers who want the best of both worlds for themselves.

I’m most cases no as they don’t often have enough regulation but they can be helpful for some people - often younger people and students who just need some cash

There should be a limit on the number of people on 0 hours so a company cannot have all staff on the contract, just a few in a ‘bank’ contract to fill vacancies in essential services

this is a personal preference it should not be stopped but it should be optional all jobs should offer a minimum hours contract at least and then have the option for a zero hour contract for people who needs flexibility but are choosing at their own will there may not be hours for them

Individuals should be given guaranteed hours unless they have specified that they want to be on a zero hours contract

People should consider things such as mental health, disabilities and neurodiversities+ the type of work that people do when making people sign a contract.
