Working Hours
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment has been made of how different low hours thresholds and different reference period lengths in respect of guaranteed hours provisions may impact workforce flexibility.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Department has published a comprehensive assessment of the potential impacts of the zero hours contract measures and will publish further analysis in due course as we implement these measures.
The consultation includes specific questions on the potential effects of different hours threshold options to inform policy decisions.
