You would be aware that I've got an amendment on this, so I want to be really, really clear that employers can't force a part-time worker to take on more hours if they don't want to. Given that there's a flat rate, they can't say, 'These are the number of hours that, previously, you would equate to that much money.' They can't force that. I want to be really clear about it.
