The government is seeking views on how to apply the ban on exploitative zero hours contracts to the one million temporary agency workers in the UK

The Employment Rights Bill will include a right to guaranteed hours, reasonable notice of shifts and payment for shifts cancelled at short notice.

Employment minister Jonathan Reynolds said: ‘We recognise that for a lot of businesses, using agencies is vital for remaining agile and flexible in a competitive market.’

The consultation, ‘Making work pay: the application of zero hours contracts measures to agency workers’, is open until 2 December.
