Do I have any rights as a 0 hour contract worker?

[CSFWIHW]

Long story short I've been told via another member of my work place that if I do not attend a training course then I won't have a job to come back to.

I've work for them now 1 year 7 months on a 0 hour contract with a weekly average of 30 hours a week work. Have I earned any rights in this time or can they just sack me?

Thanks.

Re: Do I have any rights as a 0 hour contract worker?

If you started a job after 6 April 2012 your employer can now dismiss you in the first two years with no right to make a claim for unfair dismissal. If your employment began prior to 6 April then you only need to wait one year before your full employment rights kick in.

• [*=left]Zero hours workers have the same employment rights as regular workers, although they may have breaks in their contracts, which affect rights that accrue over time.

Hope this helps.
