  • That would not be a proper zero hours contract.
    (nott hat there is any leagal meaning to zero hours)


    Any requirement to accept work would give the employee more rights than an ongoing mutualy agreed working relationship

    To quote from the ACAS link provided above but with my emphasis,
    Zero hours contracts normally mean there is no obligation for employers to offer work, or for workers to accept it.
    Contracts are not always ones of mutuality - eg statutory right to notice of specified length is not mutual after two years of employment and it has been known for employers to require more notice than they have to give.

    It might be sensible to start a new thread on here and ask if anyone can post extracts from their Sports Direct zero hours contract - it will probably be standard across the company. It might be helpful to know the year your partner started there in case the standard contract has changed over time.


    ETA: Sports Direct have been so criticised over their ZHC that I doubt that they would try to fight their corner if you did just refuse further work. See here http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/11/15/ed-miliband-sports-direct-zero-hours-contracts_n_6163746.html
