Zero hour contracts

Of course she can't force you to do it but she can also never give you any more shifts if you refuse. So you can refuse but you'll probably get fired.

Wrong! This isn’t America where you can be fired in the spot. It’s very difficult to actually get fired in this country. Managers will just not give you shifts or make your life difficult until you leave.

Actually you can be fired at any point in your first 2 years and you have no rights to contest it.

OP is on a 0 hours contract so there's not even a need to fire here they can just stop giving her shifts which is essentially the same thing.

Of course you can. The two years is for people who are trying to fight their case for unfair dismissal, i.e. fired for one reason, when you highly suspect it’s for another. You can’t be fired for doing what it says in your contract. Zero hours, you can deny hours. Most employers will try to exploit you, especially smaller ones. Know your rights because they’re there to protect you.

Wasn't sure where to ask this question but I work in a bar on a zero hour contract while at uni and the manager said I'm contracted to work Christmas day, boxing day, New year's Eve and New year's Day. I'm just curious if in a zero hour contract you can put it in my contract that I have no choice but to work those days, because that doesn't seem right, but I can't find any info online. Would she actually be able to do that or is she lying to make me work?
