Zero-hour contracts: the continued debate in 2014
IES Perspectives on HR 2014
Holmes J, Rickard C | HR Network Paper mp98 | Institute for Employment Studies | Jan 2014
2014 saw the continuation of the heated zero-hours debate. The House of Commons heard the second reading of a Private Members' Bill to limit zero-hours employment contracts.
The findings from the government consultation, launched by Business Secretary Vince Cable, on zero-hours contracts were also due to be made available. Mr Cable had suggested that one possible outcome from the consultation would be a code of conduct for employers - which would mean that developments in this area should be on the watch list for all HR practitioners and employers.
