Any idea what happens for people on zero hours contract? Please.
This is as clear as I can find. From the Guardian:-

I’m on a zero-hours contract and have been sent home


The pledge to meet 80% of wages applies to everyone who is on PAYE – that is, taxed before they are paid.

It is not clear what figure the 80% will be based on. The chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has said it will probably involve some kind of smoothing of earnings – that is to say it could be based on an average of recent weeks’ pay so you are not out of pocket if your last week’s wages were much lower than the previous week’s.
