Zero-hour contract
A zero-hour contract (or low-hour contract) is the name given to a type of contract, where the employer purports to have the discretion to vary the employee's working hours, usually anywhere from full-time to "zero hours". The employer typically asserts that they have no obligation to provide work for the employee. The employee may sign an agreement to be available for work as and when required, so that no particular number of hours or times of work are specified. The employee is expected to be on call and receives compensation only for hours worked. Depending on jurisdiction and conditions of employment, a zero-hour contract may differ from casual work.
These clauses spread widely in the United Kingdom after the global financial crisis. They are often used in agriculture, hotels and catering, education and healthcare sectors.
Zero-hour contracts are controversial. British business leaders have supported it, stating that they provide a flexible labour market. They may be ideal for some people such as retirees and students who want occasional earnings and are able to be entirely flexible about when they work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3886 )〕 It has been reported that 60% of people on zero-hours contracts are happy with the hours they do. On the other hand, under UK labour law, they are of doubtful legality because it undermines the employee's reasonable expectation to a stable income. For people in the general working population, the risk of unpredictable hours and earnings can be high. Trade union groups and others have also raised concerns about the possibility of exploitation and the use of such contracts by management as a tool to reward or reprimand employees for any reason or no reason raises issues about how workers can adequately assert their employment rights or maintain decent employment relations.
==Global==
Itinerant day labourers and part-time workers are employed under terms similar to a zero-hour contract in many countries. The term "zero-hour contract" is British English for an employee who is on call with no set minimum hours or definite schedule who works under an employment contract which nevertheless meets the requirements of the Employment Rights Act 1996, a statute of the United Kingdom.
