Recommendation 65
65
New regulations needed for zero-hours contracts and travel pay for domiciliary care workers.
Conclusion
New regulations should be introduced by 2023 in which care workers initially employed on zero-hours contracts must be offered a choice of contract after three months of employment. The new regulations should state that domiciliary care workers must be paid for their time spent travelling between appointments, and that time allocated for travel and care must be clearly set out in the contracts of domiciliary care workers.
