Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Bill achieves Royal Assent

20 Sep 2023

Workers right across the country will be given more say over their working patterns thanks to new laws supported by the Department for Business and Trade.

Receiving Royal Assent, the Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Bill gives individuals on atypical contracts - including those on zero hours contracts - more predictable working hours.

The Predictable Working Act introduces a right for workers to request a more predictable working pattern, intending to redress the imbalance of power between some employers and workers in atypical work, encouraging workers to begin conversations with their employers about their working patterns.

Zero hours contracts - and other forms of atypical work - are an important part of the UK’s flexible labour market; however, the Government is determined to tackle unfair working practices.
