Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Recent polling conducted in October and November by Wonkhe, an organisation that specialises in higher-education policy, analysis and debate, highlights that two-thirds of students who work while studying are employed on zero-hours contracts. That type of contract is especially common in universities and student unions, where flexibility is paramount. These institutions depend on zero-hours arrangements to meet the fluctuating demands of student workforces during term time.
