Would You work on a contract that gave no certainty?

How long would you expect someone to stay on it ?

I'm heading to Australia and will be taking a casual window cleaning job which
is basically 0 hour.
I don't see an issue with it you get paid for the work you do

Yes I would
And as long as they wanted too

I gave up window cleaning in december, I was offered a job on a zero hour contract, I turned it down because they would not even give a clue on how many hours a week if any could be guessed at, on the other hand I was offered another job on a zero hour contract for another firm, however they spelt it out to me, that in the last year only eight days were lost not working for other zero hour employees, I get full holiday pay, sick, training etc, they even sent me on courses they paid for and I was paid in full while I was on them, in the next few months I have 19 days holiday booked and I will be paid in full for them all, I was happy to take the job as although I had the qualification to do the job I have sod all experience, as long as I don't mess up in the next few months I expect to be on a normal contract, oh and I contribute to the company pension as well.

there are good and bad companies out there, if you want to employ on a zero hour contract make sure you are a good one

Reckon that sums it up perfectly

[edward1]

 yes I would and I do work without any contract
 
I don't intend to screw anyone over .I don't have permanent contracts myself.most of the contract work I do gives the customer one month termination .and the domestic customers can stop anytime they like .
so that's how I need to work with anyone else.however I have guys working for me who have done so for more than 10 yrs .

I employ people on zero hour and treat them fairly and give as much as possible to them. You will always get haters on here.

[edward1]

How is someone being a "hater" because they think zero hours contracts are unfair on the employee? 

[windowswashed]

If zero hour contracts are so good for employers why are they disliked so much by employees and unions. Disgusting way this country is going

They're not.
SOME employees dislike them. Usually the lazy ones.
And unions? Anyone in a union is a douche.
A union is run by douches to protect feckless douches.

[Window Lickers]

All self-employed are effectively on zero hour anyway.

[Neil Jones]

Let me know your email I'll send it over. What I won't do is debate with someone over a zero hours contract so go find someone else because it bores me senseless! People don't like them, people do. It's life, get over it.

If you really want me to I'll edit the term 'hater' to 'someone who doesn't agree with them' if that would make you feel better?

I think zero hour contracts are great.

Instead of having to give someone a guaranteed wage for 40 hours a week every week of the year with all that sick pay, holiday pay, job security nonsense, I just get to call on a them when I want. Not when they want.

When it suits me, not them.

If they don't want the hours I've got lots of other people I can call on instead.

My staff must like it too because I never hear any of them complain about it.

[J.D]

Zero contracts should be against the law!

[p1w1]

Zero contracts should be against the law!

No they shouldn't they can benefit both parties as mentioned above, anyone who cleans residential propertys are effectively on zero hour contracts

Let's be honest, any that are waiting for your call and can work if they want to or not when you call must be virtually unemployable so I think it must work well for you.

I think jackiew was being sarcastic

by the way it is a myth that employees are not entitled to holiday pay if on a zero hour contract, they are and if not the company is breaking the law, the holiday entitlement is worked out on a pro rata basis
