This Government is committed to making the UK the best place in the world to work. As laid out in our manifesto, we will bring forward measures to establish an employment framework which is fit for purpose and keeps pace with the needs of modern workplaces. These measures will make workplaces fairer by:

  • providing better support for working families and introducing new support for people facing particularly challenging circumstances.
  • encouraging flexible working while ensuring everyone benefits from the flexibility of our labour market.
  • protecting the majority of businesses who strive to do the right thing by their workers from being undercut by the small minority who seek to avoid their responsibilities.
