Contract Type FiledDecember 16th, 2015A zero hours contract is generally understood to be a contract between an employer and a worker whereby: the employer is not obliged to provide any minimum working hours, and the worker is not obliged to accept any work offered. On 26 May 2015, new regulations about zero hours contracts entered into force. The law prevents employers from enforcing 'exclusivity clauses’, which is also known as a non-compete, in a zero hours contract. An exclusivity clause would be where an employer restricts workers from working for other employers.
