Submission History: Zero Hours Contracts Falkirk Council claims to be an "ethical employer" and has claimed that it does not support the concept of"Zero Hours Contracts." However, some of the workforce such as those who qualify as graduates from the "Employment and Training Opportunities (ETO)" into the Refuse Collection Service enter on a retained as required basis. This means that graduates remain in the employment of Falkirk Council face all the restrictions imposed on individuals by the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) with no guaranteed hours; this is effectively Zero Hours Contracts by another name. Council therefore requests a report from the Chief Executive with a breakdown and numbers and groups of employees who have similar terms and conditions to the next meeting of Falkirk Council so that members may take a balanced and informed view on how these employees can be best protected. Proposed by Councillor Alexander Help Icon
