Everyone should have the right to a contract that reflects the hours they actually work. Labour’s Employment Rights Act could do just that – if we keep pushing to make sure the government gets this right.
Add your name to keep the pressure on, show the government that you want the new right to a Guaranteed Hours contract to be implemented properly with no get-outs for bad bosses.
All we’re asking is that workers have a contract that reflects the hours they’re already working – because there’s no security at work when your hours and pay are at the whim of your boss. Knowing what hours you’re going to work each week means you’re able to plan your finances, your childcare – your life.
There are more than one million people on a zero hours contract, and so many more working shifts that they depend on far beyond their contracted hours. But the detail matters. Loopholes could let bad employers dodge the rules and keep people on unpredictable shifts.
