Guide to Employment Rights Bill

In May 2024, Labour released its ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’ document, in which it outlined a series of pledges aimed at improving workers’ rights. These pledges were presented to the nation in the King’s Speech in July 2024 after Labour’s landslide election victory, where the new government confirmed its intention to turn them into law.

This guide summarises the proposed changes to help employers prepare for what’s to come, taking into account the important government amendments agreed, along with details of other relevant accepted opposition amendments
