Rights with zero-hours contracts: resolving your situation

Questioner

I have a zero-hours contract. Now my employer has said that I can continue working for another month, but after that there is no more work. I have worked for 4 months with a continuous schedule of three days a week. What are my rights and what steps do I have to take.

Lawyer

Is the contract for a fixed term or an indefinite term? As for your zero-hours contract, the legislator has solved it quite simply. Article 7:610b states: 'if an employment contract has lasted at least three months, the agreed work in any month is presumed to have a scope equal to the average scope of work per month in the three preceding months.'
