umbrella contract

umbrella contract
This term is often used in the context of casual workers. An umbrella contract of employment describes an over-arching contract which may be implied by conduct of the parties where there would otherwise be gaps between individual employment contracts. The effect of an umbrella contract of employment is to provide a continuing employment relationship during such gap periods. The term is sometimes used to describe a zero hours contract.
