Document Description

This Zero Hours Contract is designed to create an ‘on call’ arrangement between employer and employee, and is most commonly used by Employment Businesses who provide temporary work and short term assignments within different organisations. The most important thing about a zero hours contract is that it does not oblige the employer to find work for the employee, nor the employee to accept the work offered. This Zero Hours Contract is new to the Simply-docs site. It differs from the Zero Hours Employment (Umbrella) Contract in that it does not in and of itself give rise to an employer-employee relationship. Rather than providing an “umbrella” or global contract of employment, where a period of continuous employment runs regardless of whether any hours are actually worked, this Zero Hours (Framework) Agreement instead provides that the worker is only employed when he or she is actually assigned hours to work, and that when the assignment comes to an end the employment relationship terminates. Every time a new work assignment is accepted by the worker, a new and separate period of employment begins. The Zero Hours Contract has been updated to comply with the changes introduced on 1st April 2009, particularly, concerning the increase in the statutory holiday entitlement and payment in lieu of holiday. From 1st April 2009 the statutory holiday entitlement increases to 28 days from 24 days, including public and bank holidays. In relation to payment in lieu of holiday, from 1st April 2009 it is no longer possible to pay employees in lieu of them taking their full statutory holiday entitlement. However, payment in lieu of holiday above the statutory entitlement is allowed and a new clause has been included in the contract to reflect the change. Using this contract will allow employers and agencies to retain a pool of workers to fill temporary positions as they arise. Contracts of this nature can be especially valuable when applied to retired workers who by virtue of this agreement can be called in as and when necessary to provide the benefits of their experience. As drafted, this contract complies with all of the most recent changes in legislation, and provides the same rights to people on zero hours contracts as are enjoyed by full time workers, on a pro rata basis. This contract includes the following clauses: 1. General 2. Nature of this Agreement 3. Continuous Employment 4. Hours of Work 5. Pay 6. Holiday 7. Sickness 8. Mobility 9. Maternity and Paternity Rights 10. Pensions 11. Normal Retirement Date 12. Grievance Procedure 13. Disciplinary Procedure 14. Staff Handbook and Employment Policies 15. Termination of Employment 16.
