This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Employers are not allowed to stop workers employed under a zero hours contract from working for another employer by putting an "exclusivity clause" in their contract: www.gov.uk/government/publications/zero-hours-contracts-guidance-for-employers/zero-hours-contracts-guidance-for-employers#exclusivity-clauses

If someone has two jobs and neither income is above their personal allowance, they can already apply to HMRC to have their personal allowance split between their jobs: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/pay-and-tax-when-working-in-more-than-one-job

We have published a petition calling on the Government to give financial help to agency and zero hour workers during COVID-19 outbreak, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301328
