Potential impact of the Employment Rights Bill – Amanda Glover and Jesse Akiwumi write for Employee Benefits

The Employment Rights Bill aims to put an end to exploitative zero-hour contracts. The bill introduces a requirement for employers to offer workers, on zero-hour or low hour contracts, the ability to move to guaranteed hours. Workers who are offered guaranteed hours will still have the option to remain on zero-hour or low-hour contracts if they wish to do so.

From a worker perspective, this will hopefully strike a better balance, allowing those who truly wish to have high levels of flexibility to continue benefitting from this, but providing a greater level of security for those who wish for more predictability and stability from their work life.
