These contracts have a part to play in a modern, flexible labour market.</p><p>Government made exclusivity clauses in zero hour contracts unlawful in 2015, meaning individuals have more control over their lives and can work more hours with another employer if they wish. Government also created a route of redress for individuals whose employer mistreats them if they look for, or work elsewhere.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 19/09/2016 09:45:51 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
