I'm now classified as a (?casual) worker, rather than an employee - so not entitled to pension or holiday, sickness pay etc.

I think you will find that this is incorrect. Unless you only work the odd few days per year you are not a casual worker. That term is not applicable to anyone working regularly for an employer. Hourly paid (what used to be loosely referred to as casual workers) staff are still entitled to benefits in line with salaried staff. That includes pensions.

Thanks.

I'll look into this a bit more.

I am on a zero hours contract. How will I be treated?

You will be automatically enrolled in the same way as other workers if you earn more than, currently, £192 a week, £833 per month or £10,000 a year and meet the other joining conditions.

I don't have a contract. Just paid hourly, on an 'as required' basis.

I previously asked about holiday pay, but was told I was not entitled.

I find that shocking. How many hours do you work generally? Your employer is trying to avoid having to give you what you are entitled to under employment law. Do you get payslips and pay all the relevant taxes and NIs?

Yes, I'm on PAYE.
Payment goes into the bank each month.
