On 04 March, legislation came into force that seeks to improve certainty and security for those working on flexible employment contracts. The legislation precedes a draft European Directive on the issue that is in the final stages of adoption (c.f. article No. 10999).
Adopted in December 2018, The Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2018 (final version here) intends for the end of zero hours employment contracts, except under certain strict circumstances, and requires employers to specify a minimum above-zero hours length of working time that an employee can ‘reasonably expect to work’.
