Zero hour contracts continue to be the subject of media attention and this January sees a further move in the direction of strengthening the rights of workers on zero hour contracts.
As you will know from earlier blogs, exclusivity clauses in zero hour contracts were banned in 2015.
New regulations apply from 11 January 2016, giving employees the right to make an employment tribunal claim where they have been dismissed or subject to detriment by an employer following breach of an exclusivity clause in a zero hour contract.
