Stakeholders representing workers stated that if a worker is raising an issue in this area, then it is often alongside a range of other concerns such as a reduction in shifts, short notice cancellation of shifts, or payment below National Minimum Wage, therefore, individuals may be more likely to raise a dispute in relation to another point of law rather than these regulations specifically.</p> more like this
