Contracts that do not guarantee a minimum number of hours: September 2017

Estimates of the number of employment contracts that do not guarantee a minimum number of hours are derived from our twice-yearly survey of businesses. They are complemented by estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), a survey of households, of the number of people who report that they are on a "zero-hours contract" in their main job. This report includes the latest figures from the LFS for April to June 2017, first published in August 2017, as well as new estimates from the survey of businesses for May 2017.

The results from the May 2017 survey of businesses indicated that there were 1.4 million contracts that did not guarantee a minimum number of hours, where work had actually been carried out under those contracts. This represented 5% of all employment contracts. The equivalent figures for May 2016 were 1.7 million and 5%. The number of contracts that did not guarantee a minimum number of hours has fallen on the year; however, their share of total contracts used is unchanged.

Average weekly earnings, bonus payments in Great Britain: financial year ending 2017

The financial and insurance activities industry paid the highest average bonus per employee, at slightly under £14,770, while the health and social work industry paid the lowest average bonus per employee at close to zero.
