Use this agreement to create a contract for new staff working on an 'as required' or 'zero-hours' basis. It's designed for businesses who have a fluctuating need for staff or want to give staff a flexible means of working. A zero-hours worker is not guaranteed work by their employer and in this agreement the worker does not have to accept offers of work.
It deals with the job description and matters such as working time, breaks, holiday entitlement, salary, sickness and data protection. It also includes detailed disciplinary and grievance procedures as optional attachments.
All employers must give certain information in a written statement to new workers in England, Wales or Scotland. This agreement contains that information and you must give it to the worker by the time they start working for you.
Use this agreement in combination with our employee handbook (or your own) in order to refer to details of your policies and procedures (e.g. about different types of paid leave).
This document is not drafted to be suitable for those who work only during term times in education settings.
