Daily HR Tip #1: Get Ahead of the Zero-Hour Contract Ban

Employment Rights Bill Prep Series – Day 1

The new Bill will abolish zero-hour contracts, replacing them with a legal right to predictable working hours for all staff.

🔎 What this means for you:

If you currently rely on casual, flexible arrangements—especially in cleaning, care or facilities—your model will need to adapt.

✅ What to do now:

  • Audit all zero-hour or casual contracts in your organisation

  • Identify roles that can be moved to part-time or fixed-term schedules

  • Start consulting affected staff early to ensure a smooth transition

💡 Pro tip: Document your rationale for any hours assigned—this will support compliance and build trust.
