Zero Hour Contracts

The request was successful.

Dear Birmingham City University,

1. How many employees were on zero hour contracts in the last five years if any? Also how many employees there were in total on any type of contract?

2. What rights do employees on these contracts have?
For example, are people on these contracts allowed to refuse
shifts? If you have a standard zero hour contract could you please supply that as well.

3. Can we see a summary of the distribution of age, gender and ethnicity within zero hour contracts?

4. Could I have a breakdown of the roles that a zero contract applies to?

Yours faithfully,

Hannah Jackson

Dear Ms Jackson,

 

Thank you for your request for information under the terms of the Freedom
of Information Act.  Please see below and attached for the University’s
response.

 

1. How many employees were on zero hour contracts in the last five years
if any? Also how many employees there were in total on any type of
contract?
Please see the attached spreadsheet.  For ‘the last 5 years’ ‘year’ has
been taken to be calendar year, therefore the date range we have used is
between 13th April 2008 and 13th April 2013.

 

2. What rights do employees on these contracts have?
    For example, are people on these contracts allowed to refuse shifts?
If you have a standard zero hour contract could you please supply that as
well.
Please see the attached documents.

 

3. Can we see a summary of the distribution of age, gender and ethnicity
within zero hour contracts?
Please see the attached spreadsheet. 

4. Could I have a breakdown of the roles that a zero contract applies to?

Please see the attached spreadsheet.  The roles are as the groupings used
for the DLA Piper benchmarking survey

Kind regards

 

Frances
