Making Work Pay Employment Reforms

The Employment Rights Act 2025 and related legislation reform UK employment law to strengthen worker protections and improve job quality, led jointly by the Department for Work and Pensions and Department for Business and Trade. Key measures include restrictions on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in employment disputes, enhanced fertility treatment rights, and new application requirements for employment contracts. The government is currently implementing the Act through consultation on detailed regulations and guidance.
