What the Bill would do (Part 1, clauses 1-8 and schedule 1)
For those workers on zero-hours contracts and low-hours contracts, the Bill aims to introduce:
a right to a reasonable notice of shifts
payment for shift cancellation, movement and curtailment at short notice
a right to be offered a contract with guaranteed hours - which reflects the hours eligible workers regularly work over a statutory reference period
a right to information for workers from employers about aspects of their statutory rights.
