Hello
My eea spouse works at 25 hrs permanent at the moment but she wants to change her field.
What is the stand on "bank" shifts in the NHS. If she can do over 25 hrs a week fullfilling the minimum threshold wage but not having a permanent contract will that count towards her being employed? Thanks.

Anybody?
Bank by the way is like a zero hours contract. However the place she is going to are guaranteeing her the hours. She will be paid every week with payslips

No minimum number of hours is specified in the regulations for a 'qualified person' who is a worker,

Thanks.
am more concerned about the nature of employment. Its not a permanent post, its rather more like a zero hour contract.

Page 11 seems quite clear:
Effective work may have no
formal contract but should have:
- something that is recognisably a labour contract;
an employer;
agreement between employer and employee that the worker will perform certain tasks;
the employer will pay or offer services (such as free accommodation) or goods for the tasks performed;
If you have some or all of these things you are probably good to go.
(Don't forget in English law a contract doesn't have to be written, it could be verbal).
