This Zero Hours Contract is ideal when you need a casual worker on a flexible basis i.e. for ad hoc or seasonal work. 

Essentially this is a contract with no guaranteed hours (zero hours). You simply offer them work, when you have it, and pay them for the hours they work, but by law they don't have to accept the work you offer. This person would usually be on your payroll (PAYE).

Examples of work that might require a zero-hour contract might include:

• Bank work (for example, for the NHS)
• Students or interns who can only work during university holidays
• Delivery driving / gig economy work (for example, delivering takeaway food or giving car rides during busy periods)
• Hospitality work e.g waitresses to cover busy periods
• Retail work e.g. pickers, packers etc to handle seasonal high demands.
• Warehouse work

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT

Well firstly, it's the law. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you (and not getting from you), i.e. their hours of work, holidays, sick pay etc.

But, another important reason is that if things ever did go sour with your casual worker, or they tried to screw you over or claim they are an employee, this is the number one document that can make or break your business. 

In this template, it clarifies this person is a worker (not an employee) and covers the following situations, and many more:

👌 This is a zero hours contract, with no guaranteed pay or hours

😡 Confidentiality - so they can't share your strategies and secrets

💬 Clarity - to prevent misunderstandings over what they’re entitled to

💷 Caveats - to avoid paying your casual workers when you shouldn’t have to

⚖ GDPR - so you comply with the law by getting consent to hold their data

🤔 Termination clause - just in case things don't work out 

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive job offer letter and Zero Hours Contract Template, is instantly emailed to you in Microsoft Word format. It's 100% compliant with the laws of England and is designed to protect you and your business if things were ever to go horribly wrong. And when the law changes, and I update this template, you'll get the new version for free. 

👉 Plus, you'll get my easy-peasy instructions on how to personalise your contract, along with notes and FAQs. These explain the very important clauses and how they’ll protect you – as well as how to send it to your casual worker.  

WHY GET THIS ZERO HOURS CONTRACT?

WHAT IS VOXER?

Voxer is a “walkie talkie” app that allows you to send text and voice notes back and forth - similar to WhatsApp, but for business. It’s free to use.

Here's how this service works. 

1. You choose a date for your Day of Voxer and purchase this service 📅

You don’t need to free your calendar for this. This is a flexible and friendly service, and fits around your day. You can ask as many questions as you want between 9am and 5pm on the day you book and I will aim to reply to your message as quickly as I can. 

You just need to think about what you want to get out of our time together (I will ask in advance what you want to achieve after purchase) and make sure you have enough time between your daily activities to listen and reply to messages - as well as the mental space to process and take notes.

Please note I only run two of these sessions each month, and I may be able to move things around if you want some support on a specific date that's not showing as available. I am very flexible about rescheduling if you need to). 

Then, add to your basket and purchase your day of Voxer. 

2. We set you up on Voxer and plan what you want to get out of the session 📱

If you don’t have a Voxer account, I'll show you how to create one - it’s free.

We’ll add each other on Voxer, and I'll send you a questionnaire to understand what you want to get out of the meeting in advance. This way, we can dive right in when your day starts.

3. When your Day of Voxer comes, you’ll have access to me from 8am to 4pm UK time ⏰ 

Don’t worry - this isn’t a 8 hour long chat, and you’re not expected or supposed to be sitting by your phone waiting for replies.

We’ll be exchanging messages throughout the day at a steady yet relaxed pace.

The best thing about a Day of Voxer is that you have space in between messages to mull things over and take action.

That’s part of what makes a Day of Voxer so great.
