Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill

Whether it is the handwriting or whatever, it is certainly the case that UC will be based on real-time information, but the payment will

be made at the end of a month in arrears. Therefore you have the problem of income-smoothing when you have unpredictable hours, and we know that the hours of 75% of people on ZHCs vary every week. That is why, going back to Clause 148, I ask how you can run a second job with unpredictable hours if your first job has unpredictable hours. Your two employers may want you at the same time, but neither employer may want you at another hour.
