Colourhouse Masterbatch Ltd, based in Hindley Green, Wigan, is delighted to announce our successful accreditation as a No Zero Hours Employer with Zero Hours Justice, an organization dedicated to ending the unilateral imposition of zero-hours contracts by employers.
As the first employer in the masterbatch sector to be accredited by Zero Hours Justice, we are proud to lead the way and demonstrate that good business practice means providing our workers with the security and stability they need. We recognize the importance of valuing our staff and showing the wider business community that it's possible to operate successfully without relying on zero-hours contracts.
We also want our customers and suppliers to know that our services are dependent on our dedicated workforce. Our accreditation assures them of our commitment to their employee rights, as an ethical employer, Colourhouse Masterbatch believe in fair working conditions, and a fair work-life balance .
Zero Hours Justice offers their free No Zero Hours Accreditation Scheme to all employers in the private, public, and third sectors who do not employ workers on zero-hours contracts. They also provide a Fairer Hours Employer Accreditation for those who use zero-hours contracts but adhere to minimum requirements.
Chris Peace, Director of Zero Hours Justice, says:
"Most workers are on zero-hours contracts because it was the only work they could find. Not knowing what hours you are working from one day to the next makes planning your finances stressful. At a time when the cost of living continues to increase, workers need to know when they are working to plan their lives and pay their bills. Many employers recognize that using zero-hours contracts with little notice does not make for a happy and productive workforce, and we applaud those who are leading the way by not using them, such as Colourhouse Masterbatch Ltd."
Brian Davies, Director of Colourhouse Masterbatch Ltd, adds:
"With personal experience of how these contracts can affect an individual’s work-life balance, I vowed that if I ever got into a position to help end the practice, I would seize the opportunity. Now, I am proud to announce that Colourhouse Masterbatch has achieved accreditation as a No Zero Hours Employer, proving our commitment to our employees and their families."
