▤ Verbatim text from source document

The government is introducing measures to tackle one-sided flexibility in zero-hours contracts through a right to guaranteed hours with a contract that reflects the number of hours regularly worked, and a right to reasonable notice of shifts with payment for shifts cancelled or curtailed at short notice.

This consultation seeks views specifically on the application of these 2 measures to agency workers so responses from stakeholders can help to inform the government’s approach to legislation on this point.

The government will consult at a later date on the implementation of these 2 measures more generally.
