// Once a zero-hours worker has given 26 weeks of service, they can request a more predictable pattern of hours. Small business owners will have to give their decision within a month, as opposed to three months, as is the case with flexible working requests.
Business owners will have the right to turn down the request for predictable hours for reasons including a detrimental impact on their ability to meet customer demand or additional costs. https://smallbusiness.co.uk/zero-hours-staff-can-ask-for-predictable-hours-2565611/ //
