The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill includes a provision banning the use of exclusivity clauses in contracts which do not guarantee any hours. A Government consultation now seeks views by 3 November 2014 on measures to prevent employers getting round the ban and protect employees from detriment. The Government has also announced that it is planning to develop sector-specific codes of practice on the fair use of zero hours contracts.
