We have an unacceptably high level of low-paid workers, the second highest in the OECD. That is bad enough. The Minister's failure to do anything about low-hour contracts compounds it. What makes it even worse is that people who are on low-hour contracts and might be entitled to FIS often cannot get it, given that employers will not fill out the Part 8 form. The lone parents group, Single Parents Acting for the Rights of Kids, SPARK, has asked the Minister to get rid of the form and allow for other ways for workers on low-hour contracts to prove they were working and fit the criteria for FIS payments. I am asking the Minister again.
