Evaluation of zero hour contracts within ecoliteracy in New Zealand (NZ)

Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 73 - 80, 08.06.2019

Abstract








Zero
hour contract is an arrangement between employers and employees which
does not include minimum working hours and employees have to be
available in order to work in any time. There is a legal definition
of it in New Zealand recently however it might be carried out under
casual contract which is legal. Zero hour contract is a big problem
in terms of employees and ecoliteracy because it causes exploitation
of the employees’ rights. The aim of this study is therefore to
evaluate the applications of zero hour contracts within ecoliteracy
in New Zealand. It will then focus on specific points, negative
aspects -in terms of employees-, and the local implications of zero
hour contracts. In conclusion, it may be said that the zero hour
contract should be checked by the government regularly and employees’
rights should be protected legally in New Zealand.
