The legal difference between a zero hour employee and a ltd company providing services (not of service) is quite marked. The level of opportunity is dramatically different. So comparing a contractor selling their skills to someone stuck on a zero hours contract with a supemarket or chicken plucking farm it is fairly easy to see the difference.
The financial impact of being on NMW versus £20 - £100 an hour is huge and changes your options dramatically.

I think it's worth noting that not all employers abuse the zero hour contracts. Some of them are using them in order to offer genuinely flexible terms for their employees and the employees are happy with those terms. Nevertheless they are included in the statistics that paints all zero hour contracts black.
Work force abuse has always been there in one form or another and i agree that the growing concern about zero hours contracts needs addressing/regulation. But by the love of god can we stop with the carpet "bombing" in legislation and start using more targeted and precise approach that only eliminates the existing problem and is not creating more issues and red tape elsewhere.Comment
