Overview of Setting up and Reporting Workers on Zero-Hour Contracts

Zero-hours workers are liable for reporting to MyCSP. A worker’s hours are reported to MyCSP using a combination of the Part-Time Hours and either of the Short-Time Hours History files.

This section explains how a zero-hours worker is handled for correct reporting.

A worker on a zero-hours contract is identified by both of the following:

  • 0 in the Working Hours field on their assignment
    • The working hours value 0 must remain unchanged as long as the person is on a zero-hours contract. Use a time card or element entries to record their actual working hours. (You can specify in the Time Card Required field on the payroll relationship if a worker should only be paid when they have a time card.)
  • Part-time assignment category:
    • Part-time regular o Part-time temporary o Part-time casual
    • Partial retirement, if FTE is less than 1
    • User-defined assignment category mapped to any of the above
