I ask the Minister to consider this amendment in particular because the reforms, in their current form, fail to consider that full-time students do not fit neatly into a system designed for workers with more predictable schedules. The current design of the guaranteed hours proposal, without any exception for seasonal or term-time workers, ignores the nature of student work and, I am afraid, could ultimately drive employers away from hiring students altogether, and surely that is an outcome that no one would want to see.
