Pay | Zero-hour workers to receive payslips for the first time

Around 300,000 workers who previously did not receive a payslip will now be provided with one following the introduction of a new law.

Starting this week, those on casual or zero-hours contracts will be given a payslip detailing the number of hours worked, to make it easier for workers to check they are being paid the correct amount.

The new regulation forms part of the Government’s Good Work Plan – the biggest package of workplace reforms for over 20 years.

It is also hoped that the development will make it easier to identify if employers are meeting their obligations under the national minimum wage and that holiday entitlements are correctly paid, reported The Guardian.
