A new template

Now that the new Guidance has been published providing further clarity on holiday entitlement for irregular workers, we have drafted a new zero-hour written statement template. This template is not available online as it is important you first take advice from our team of Employment Advisers to make sure it is suitable for your needs. NFU Employment Service members can contact the Helpline on 0370 840 0234 for further information.
