Zero-hours contracts From last Monday, 0.004% of the working population (125,000 workers) can breathe a huge sigh of relief because the Exclusivity Terms in Zero Hours Contracts (Redress) Regulations 2015 says that: (1) Dismissal of a zero-hours contract employee is automatically unfair if the principal reason is that they breached a contractual clause preventing them from working for someone else; (2) There is no qualifying period of service required to bring such a claim; and (3) It is unlawful to submit a zero-hours worker to any detriment for working for another employer in breach of a contractual clause preventing them from doing so. |

Can't see it making much difference if they want rid of someone they will just give them zero hours as per contract. |

My thought entirely. It's happened at a bus company I work for, 2 drivers arguing, the supervisor said to me they wouldn't be offered any more work. And they haven't. |
