As employers’ use of flexible contracts is on the rise, we asked HR how they can improve work for zero-hours and gig workers.
The pressure group Worker Info Exchange has called on Uber and other ride-hailing apps to publish information on its drivers’ working hours, to prevent exploitation, the Guardian reported yesterday (2 September).
Three quarters of zero-hours workers have experienced difficulty meeting living expenses as they were not offered enough working hours, research by TUC showed last week (30 August).
“Zero-hours contracts work well when they are a win-win for both employer and employee,” Neil Pickering, senior manager of HR innovation workforce management and HR company UKG, told HR magazine.
