A better solution would apply a minimum standard of living and benefits to ALL workers - irrespective of the number of hours worked everyone should get benefits (health, sick/vacation 'savings', unemployment) which follow a worker and for which pro-rated jobs at least contribute a pro-rated portion.
Also, 'on call' or 'must be available' should be considered at least minimum wage PLUS benefits idle time since the employee is being asked to be on standby and not take other work. Schedules should also be known months in advance so proper planning can be made.
