Worker Type
What Is Zero-Hour Contract?
Quick Definition
An employment agreement with no guaranteed minimum hours — the employer offers shifts as needed, and the worker can accept or decline. Common in the UK and conceptually similar to on-demand staffing, though GigSmart's model differs in that workers always choose which shifts to accept.
