And to all the children heading back to school... we're very sorry your summer holidays have come to an end! But we're sure you have an amazing year ahead of you. Good luck everyone! 🌟

Zero Hours Are Not Ending — But Your Processes Must Change
Workers can still choose to stay on zero hours contracts. The law isn’t banning flexibility — it’s banning exploitation.

What’s changing:
• Workers gain a right to be offered guaranteed hours when their pattern becomes regular.
• They can decline and remain zero hours.
• If they continue working regular hours, employers must repeat the offer after each reference period.

What counts as “regular”? A 12 week reference period is expected, with stable weekly hours (likely 8–20 hours) triggering the duty to offer guaranteed hours.

How employers should prepare:
• Audit your zero hours workforce now.
• Track hours over rolling 12 week periods.
• Build a guaranteed hours workflow.
• Strengthen rota processes ahead of October 2026.
• Update contracts and policies.
• Stress test cost impacts.
• Use scheduling tech that flags regular patterns and records shift offers/cancellations.

Zero hours flexibility can continue — but only with strong governance and compliant processes.

A new furry friend called Betsy paid us a visit in the office yesterday and completely stole the show!

She brought plenty of smiles, a few distractions and now we're completely convinced that dogs in the office should be company policy.

As for Betsy, she's already setting high standards for future canine colleagues, although we're not sure sleeping on the job would usually be allowed!🐶😆
