I think there are zero hour contracts and zero hour contracts. put yourself on someone’s books Because you want a bit of extra if they offer you work at a price and duration you are happy to do; but no promises either way then I don’t see a problem. If on the other hand you get get locked in to something without a promise of payment or benefit but with certain obligations then there is a big problem. I don’t think anyone has defined a “zero hours contract” clearly. I’d just say fair or not fair. ...but maybe I am just simple minded ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making an appt with my doctor (and I suspect most people's) is the same Either book an advance appt online for 3 weeks time, or it's "ring at 8am and wait in the queue" I've never had to cancel one so I never thought of that, but yeah agreed FindernRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same but there was a good debate on Question time last night about zero contract hours. It suits some people, some audience members spoke favourably, especially the flexibility element of them. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Helping my younger one with her homework, there was a question about how long it takes a kettle to boil - 5 seconds, 5 minutes or 50 minutes. I put the kettle on to find the answer and in the 5 minutes it took to boil, we finished the homework. As we did so, the kettle klicked off. 'Now,' she said, 'I will make you a cup of tea.' Such a delight. Wolfie and ramit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
