Zero Hour contracts affect a lot more people than you would realise, so I spoke to part time preschool worker Linda Thomson to ask her a few questions about her life as an employee with a
zero hour contract. . unfortunately Linda didn't want to be recorded taking part in the interview, so
here is a write up of the events of the days.
Hi Linda, can you just explain in a few words what it is you do and how this relates to zero hour
contracts?
Ok well, I work at a pre-school in Darlington for a few days week. When I'm there it's just a case
of looking after the kids, setting up their activities and clearing them away, as well as anything
else that might need to get done. My contract is a zero hour contract, so this means that I'm not
technically required to work any certain amount of hours, but it also means my boss isn't required
to give me any either.
Did you get much say in the kind of contract you've been given?
To be honest I hadn't ever really heard of one before, but I knew what I was getting myself into
when I applied for the job. It might not be ideal, but I needed a job as my husbands income
stopped being enough so we just needed a little something extra on the side.
Would you advise going on a zero hours contract example?
I don't think would, I mean its best to know that you are guaranteed hours really. But I wouldn't
say its the worse thing in the world, especially not for me as i say, we still have my husbands
income to keep us afloat, but if you don't have anything else its probably not best.
What would you say the positives are to having a zero hour contract?
Well it works out alright for me, as I don't live too far away from the school so I'm always on
standby when they me. And its great for earning a little bit of extra money as it means I don't have
to commit myself to doing too much more than I can handle. i am lucky though as i get on great
with my boss, so i trust she wont be taking any liberties, though i can imagine that's not the case
for everyone with these contracts.
And what are the negative aspects of the contract?
My main issue is, that it becomes a little difficult to make plans as it happens quite often when I
wont expect to be working and then I'm called in last minute, or I'll think I'm needed when I'm not.
I'm also very glad that i'm not the sole earner in the house, because I couldn't rely on this job for
that, as much as the flexibility is great, there's just no stability.
