ZERO HOURS CONTRACT
1. STATUS OF THIS AGREEMENT
This contract governs your engagement from time to time by dazzle as a casual worker. This is
not an employment contract and does not confer any employment rights on you (other than
those to which workers are entitled). In particular, it does not create any obligation on you to
perform work for the Company (even if offered) or on the Company to provide work to you and
there will be no mutuality of obligation between the parties.
2. COMPANY'S DISCRETION AS TO WORK OFFERED
It is entirely at the Company's discretion whether to offer you work and it is under no obligation
to provide work to you at any time.
The Company reserves the right to give or not give work to any person at any time and is under
no obligation to give any reasons for such decisions.
3. NO PRESUMPTION OF CONTINUITY
Each offer of work by the Company which you accept shall be treated as an entirely separate
and severable engagement (an assignment). The terms of this contract shall apply to each
assignment but there shall be no relationship between the parties after the end of one
assignment and before the start of any subsequent assignment.
The fact that the Company has offered you work, or offers you work more than once, shall not
confer any legal rights on you and, in particular, should not be regarded as establishing an
entitlement to regular work or conferring continuity of employment.

If the Company wants to offer you any work it will send you details of the booking including
dates of work, hours of work, brief outline of duties, fees and any expenses via E-MAIL. You are
under no obligation to accept any work offered by the Company at any time. However, if you
accept an assignment, you must inform the Company immediately if you will be unable to
complete it for any reason (please refer to dazzle Handbook)
