Employment Rights Bill: supporting documents

Employment Rights Bill: European Convention on Human Rights memorandum

The government's Plan to Make Work Pay sets out how it is aiming to grow the economy, raise living standards across the country and create opportunities for all. The plan will help more people to stay in work, improve job security and boost living standards. The plan will support employers and businesses across the country, creating a fair and level playing field and modernising the employment rights framework to suit the economy of today.

The Employment Rights Bill, which was introduced to Parliament on 10 October 2024, is the first phase of delivering the Plan to Make Work Pay, supporting employers, workers, and unions to get Britain moving forward and fulfilling a commitment to introduce legislation within 100 days. The Bill will update and modernise the legislative framework in relation to employment rights.
