Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

In relation to the right of guaranteed work, the provisions allow guaranteed-hours offers to take the form of an offer to enter into a limited term contract, where it is reasonable to do so. The provisions detail that it is reasonable to enter into a limited term contract where, for instance, the qualifying worker will be needed only until an event has occurred or until a specific task has been completed. This will allow for the use of a limited term contract for seasonal work in such circumstances.
