Scheme offering wages for Zero Hours contracts.
As the government created a Job Retention Scheme for employed, Zero Hours contracts should not be left behind. All of us are equal, including nearly 900 thousand employees that are registered to the Zero Hour contract. Why the same and quality Zero hour contract shouldn't be supported and paid?
All employees are equal and at this difficult time, all of us deserved to be supported and protected for upcoming months. No matter having a Zero Hour contract, we dedicated hard work, long hours to the companies and now feeling left behind. We also have to pay our bills, food and worry about how we going to live further. Just the same way as contracted or employed people, but sadly Zero Hours contract payments are concerned.
