Verbatim
“There are too many homecare companies serving neighbourhoods, splitting work between them so that staff struggle to get the hours they need. This has been allowed to happen because of the inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts to run core business operations. By not paying us for our legal working time of up to 60 minutes between care visits, homecare agencies advertise misleading hourly rates, making the public, politicians and job applicants believe staff are paid significantly more than they are.”
