Some two months after claiming that they had been banned,
the government has prohibited the use of exclusivity clauses in
zero-hours contracts. This and other employment law-related measures are
contained in the first commencement order made under the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015.
Coming into force today, section 153 of the 2015 Act bans the use of exclusivity clauses in zero-hours contracts. Further regulations are awaited dealing with the anti-avoidance aspects.
Other things coming into force are increasing the penalty for breach of the national minimum wage, plus more. See this excellent blog by Craig Gordon of HR Bullets, whose content I have partly reproduced above, for more details.
