What is Zero Hours Workers Contract and why it is important?

A zero-hour contract is a type of contract between an employer and a worker, where the employer is not obliged to provide any minimum working hours, while the worker is not obliged to accept any work offered. The employee may sign an agreement to be available for work as and when required, by not fixing number of hours or times of work to be invested in. Depending on jurisdiction and conditions of employment, a zero-hour contract may differ from casual work. They are often used in agriculture, hotels and catering, education, healthcare or in any other sector where the need may arise depending upon their requirement of work. They are used to enable on call scheduling. This term is used to refer to on-call shift scheduling practices, even though it is an enabling form of a contract.
