Ar 10 Rhagfyr, cyhoeddais Ddatganiad Ysgrifenedig ynghylch ymchwil i’r defnydd o gontractau dim oriau mewn gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn sgil pryderon am eu defnydd a’r effaith ar weithwyr.

Cyhoeddwyd yr ymchwil heddiw ac mae ar gael ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

Mae’r ymchwil yn dangos yr amryw amgylchiadau lle defnyddir contractau dim oriau ar draws gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ac mae hefyd yn tynnu sylw at faterion ynghylch eu defnydd y mae angen eu hystyried ymhellach a chymryd camau yn eu cylch.

Mae’r materion yn cynnwys effaith ansicrwydd enillion ar weithwyr, rhag\-rybudd digonol o waith, rhybudd a iawndal digonol am ganslo gwaith, dosbarthiad teg o waith, a hawliau cyflogaeth fel gwyliau blynyddol, tâl salwch a thâl dileu swydd.

Mae’r ymchwil hefyd yn tynnu sylw at bryderon penodol ynghylch y defnydd o gontractau dim oriau mewn gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sy’n cael eu gosod ar gontract, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau gofal cartref sydd eisoes yn cael eu hystyried gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol.

Rwyf felly’n bwriadu gofyn i’r Comisiwn Staff Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus anstatudol newydd, ar ôl ei sefydlu yn yr hydref, ddatblygu canllawiau penodol i fynd i’r afael â phryderon a nodwyd ynghylch contractau dim oriau. Bydd hyn yn gosod disgwyliadau clir o ran arferion y dylem eu disgwyl gan bob cyflogwyr sector cyhoeddus i sicrhau na chaiff contractau dim oriau eu defnyddio mewn ffordd amhriodol. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, bwriedir cyhoeddi Hysbysiad Cyngor Caffael hefyd i osod disgwyliadau tebyg ar gyfer contractwyr gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Mae hyn yn adlewyrchu ein hymrwymiad i’r gweithlu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a bydd yn helpu i ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus i bobl ledled Cymru.

On 10 December I issued a Written Statement announcing research into the use of zero hours contracts in public services in light of concerns around their use and the impact on workers.


The completed research has been published today and is available on the Welsh Government website.


The research shows the varied circumstances in which zero hours contracts are used across public services and highlights issues associated with their use which warrant further consideration and action.


Issues include the impact of uncertain earnings on workers, suitable advance notice of work, sufficient notice and compensation for cancelling work, fair distribution of work, and access to employment rights such as annual leave, sick pay and redundancy pay.


The research also highlights specific concerns around the use of zero hours contracts in contracted out public services, in particular in relation to domiciliary care services which are already being considered by the Minister for Health and Social Services.


I therefore intend to ask the Public Services Staff Commission, when established this autumn, to develop guidance to address concerns identified on zero hours contracts. This will set clear expectations on practices we should expect of all public sector employers to ensure that zero hours contracts are not used inappropriately. Alongside this, it is also intended to issue a Procurement Advice Notice to set similar expectations for public service contractors. This action reflects our commitment to the public service workforce and will support the delivery of public services to people across Wales.
