The UK Government will table amendments (on 4 March 2025) to the Employment Rights Bill following weeks of consultation and responses from business groups, trade unions and wider civil society.
This Bill will extend the employment protections already given by the best British companies to millions more workers.
The amendments carefully consider different views and needs of workers, businesses and the whole economy and looks to deliver measures that support the mutual interests required to drive a growing, modern economy.
They come following responses received to five Government consultations:
- Application of zero hours contracts measures to agency workers
- Strengthening remedies against abuse of rules on collective redundancy
- Creating a Modern Framework for Industrial Relations
- Strengthening Statutory Sick Pay
- Tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market
For businesses to thrive they must operate on a level playing field. The Fair Work Agency will take strong action against rogue employers that exploit their workers, and it will provide better support to the majority of businesses who want to do right by their staff.
