This amendment takes the worker’s guaranteed hours and calculates them pro rata to the length of the reference period. That number of apportioned hours is used as a notional number of guaranteed hours during the reference period. In that way, these workers can be treated on a fair basis with workers whose guaranteed hours clearly fall within a reference period. Therefore, it is clear whether the worker works in excess of their reference period hours and whether they fall within the scope of the right to guaranteed hours. I hope that is clear; I will get my officials to write to noble Lords.
