House of Lords employing low-paid staff on zero-hours contracts

‘The House of Lords is employing low-paid staff on zero-hours contracts, it has been revealed.

Up to 30 catering staff and 29 parliamentary reporters are on the contracts which employ staff on a ‘no work, no pay’ basis. ‘Zero-hour’ or casual work contracts do not guarantee a minimum number of hours for staff or basic employment rights such as sick pay and paid redundancy. They have been criticised by campaign groups as enabling employers to exploit staff.

The contracts have come to light as part of a Freedom of Information request obtained by The Sunday Mirror.’
