If we get 100,000 signatures on HM Petition website, it may be discussed at the house of commons, please search under underemployment.
I understand that businesses are trying to control their head count and fluctuating staff requirement costs, but they are running a business, surely they have enough historical information on their business to adequately prepare for busy/quieter periods? Also, if managers are unable to correctly compile a rota, surely they shouldn't have the position?
Changes that could be made
Jobsharing is a fantastic way to provide flexibility for the staff and the business, 2 staff members may have smaller contracts, but able to work extra hours with notice to cover sickness/holiday/busy periods.
There are many people requiring both FT and PT work, a mix of the two within staffing requirements could prove beneficial to everyone. The PT staff may be able to be flexible.
The only beneficiaryare the employers, under-employment is not good for the employee, who undoubtedly will struggle to afford to make ends meet.
I have created an e-petition on the HM Government, if we collect 100,000 signatures it may be debated in the house of commons please copy & paste this link to sign epetitions.direct.gov.uk/
