Recommendation 19
19
Extend Workers Bill provisions to include secure contracts, schedule notice, and cancelled shift compensation.
Recommendation
We also agree with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation that policy solutions are required to ensure more, good-quality flexible job opportunities are available for workers on low pay. We note the Government’s support for the Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Bill, but we recommend that the Government extend the provisions of that private Members’ bill so that there is a: i) default right to a secure contract after 26 weeks of work; ii) right to four weeks’ notice of working schedules; and iii) right to compensation for cancelled shifts (Paragraph 123) 68 Post-pandemic economic growth: UK labour markets
