Workers given just 48 hours notice of shifts starting, changing or being cancelled.
Citizens Advice today published new evidence on problems faced by a growing number of people in flexible jobs. The findings of a survey among executives, line managers and human resource managers show that:
1 in 5 (19%) say staff could not specify times or days when they were unavailable.
1 in 10 (10%) say staff can neither turn down a shift nor specify their availability.
7% say they give staff less than 48 hours notice of shifts and staff can’t turn down a shift.
The research is published on the day Citizens Advice hosts an event in London with Matthew Taylor, head of the government’s Modern Employment review.
