Mr. Daniel Waugh:

The issue with bogus self-employment and the assertion that zero-hour contracts do not exist is that they get around it by having if-and-when contracts. That is sometimes a way to put people on lower hours. For a student to be on one hour one week, 25 hours another week and then back to two hours the third week is unacceptable. Students need approximately eight to 20 hours a week just to get by. We outlined how much it costs a student per month to survive but their incomes are not matching up with that. There needs to be a bit more structure. Everyone who is employed should have structure in his or her week and know exactly how much he or she is earning in order to manage and survive.
