Input: Consider Input: That meant 2.5% of the employed UK workforce was on such a contract.
The 801,000 figure is the highest since the ONS began monitoring the number of zero-hours contracts.
ONS statistician Nick Palmer said some of the rise could reflect greater recognition of "zero-hours" contracts.
However, he added: "There's also nothing to suggest this form of employment is in decline."
In its report, the ONS said there were about 1.7 million contracts that did not guarantee a minimum number of hours in November, meaning that many workers had more than one zero-hours contract.
The previous estimate, for May 2015, was 2.1 million, but the ONS said that the estimates could be affected by seasonal factors and should not be directly compared.
The ONS data on zero-hours contracts is not as clear as it could be. As the ONS points out, "at least some of this increase may be due to greater public recognition of the term 'zero-hours contract'". That means that many people do not know that they are on a zero-hours contract, or what the term means.
Therefore much of this increase may be down to media coverage - or even the fact that the statisticians are explaining the term to people when they gather the data. The ONS itself does not know how much of this increase is down to an increasing use of these contracts and how much is down to such factors.
What we do know is that the proportion of businesses using such contracts varies considerably. In the hotel and catering industries more than a quarter of employers use them, but in the construction sector only one in 20 companies do so. These figures may also be affected by seasonal factors, given that many industries employ more people in the summer.
However, the ONS says that "there's also nothing to suggest this form of employment is in decline". That means the controversy is unlikely to decline either.
Those on zero-hours contracts were more likely to be young people, part-time workers, women, or those in full-time education when compared with other people in employment.
Someone on a zero-hours contract worked an average of 26 hours a week. About a third of those on a zero-hours contract wanted to work longer, with most wanting more hours in their current job, as opposed to a different job that offered more hours.
In comparison, only 10% of other people in other types of employment wanted more hours, the ONS said.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said zero-hours contracts could be "a nightmare for workers".
"The so-called flexibility these contracts offer is far too one-sided," she said. "Staff without guaranteed pay have much less power to stand up for their rights and often feel afraid to turn down shifts in case they fall out of favour with their boss."
TUC research found that average weekly earnings for zero-hours workers were Â£188, compared with Â£479 for permanent employees.
Laura Gardiner, of the Resolution Foundation, said some workers on zero-hours contracts struggled to cope with fluctuating pay levels, which made it hard to budget.
"While zero-hours contracts still make up a comparatively small, albeit growing, part of the labour market, it is still crucial that policy makers consider the effect of unstable employment on both workers and the economy," she said.
Owen Smith, shadow work and pensions secretary, said the Conservatives had failed to take action on zero-hours contracts as promised before the last general election.
A Department for Business spokesperson said zero-hours contracts "had a part to play in a modern, flexible labour market", adding: "We have acted to ban the use of exclusivity clauses in these contracts which prevent people from boosting their income when they have no guarantee of work."

Output: The number of workers on a zero-hours contract for their main job stood at 801,000 in late 2015, up by 104,000 from a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.


Input: Consider Input: The Conservatives, now with a majority at Westminster, have pledged to replace the Act with a British Bill of Rights.
They want to give UK courts and Parliament the "final say" on human rights issues rather than Strasbourg.
Asked about the impact of such a change on Wales, Mr Jones told assembly members: "It would make us look like a Banana republic, frankly."
The Human Rights Act came into force in 2000, bringing the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
Critics say the Act has led to "perverse" judgements, including a ruling that found the UK's blanket ban on prisoners voting was unlawful.
But during Tuesday's First Minister's Questions, Mr Jones said: "Most countries in Europe including Russia are signatories, are members of the European Convention.
"The European Convention was drafted by British lawyers; it's a British invention, and there's a complete lack of understanding of history in Whitehall at the moment," Mr Jones added.
Under the Conservatives' plan, the European Courts would not be able to require the UK to change British laws, with its judgements being treated as "advisory" rather than binding.
Instead, the UK's Supreme Court would be "the ultimate arbiter" on human rights matters.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams accused Conservative ministers of wanting to "put us in the same category as Kazakhstan in terms of how we view human rights".
"Liberal Democrats stopped the Tories scrapping the Human Rights Act and we are determined to keep fighting these plans," she said.
The European Convention created basic human rights and freedoms for every citizen in Europe.
They include the rights to life, liberty and security, a fair trial, respect for private life, and freedom of expression.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The Government was elected with a manifesto commitment to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights.
"Ministers will be discussing their plans on this and making announcements in due course."

Output: Scrapping the Human Rights Act would "make us look like a banana republic", First Minister Carwyn Jones has warned.

Boulter, who is from Woodhouse Eaves in Leicestershire, was ranked in the top 10 players in the world during her junior career and is coached by former British number one Jeremy Bates.
The British number six added: "I am looking forward to playing and thankful to get the opportunity to test my skills against higher-ranked players.
"Each moment I will enjoy and I will cherish it for the rest of my life.
"Ultimately I am there to try to win matches. I just want to have fun and play my game and I don't doubt that I can do well."


Output: Katie Boulter says she will "cherish" playing in the main draw at Wimbledon for the first time in her career.
