正文(英文) | Press release Largest upgrade in a generation to workplace rights - getting work right for British workers and businessesNew legislation to upgrade workers’ rights introduced today - including a day one statement of rights for all workers setting out leave entitlements and pay. ![]()
The government will today set out the biggest package of workplace reforms for over 20 years (Monday 17 December), with ambitious reforms to ensure the UK leads the world in meeting the challenges of the changing world of work. Building on our commitment to promote high quality work, the package of new legislation and measures, set to be unveiled by the Business Secretary Greg Clark, will ensure workers can access fair and decent work. They will provide and give businesses greater clarity on their obligations and ensure the enforcement system is fair and fit for purpose. Today’s announcement takes forward 51 of the 53 recommendations made by Matthew Taylor in his review of modern working practices, some of which we have gone further than the review. Our reforms will cement the UK’s status as a world leader in workers’ rights now and well into the future and will be the first country in the world to address the opportunities and challenges of the gig economy and the changing world of work, and its impact on a modern economy.

The government is also committing to legislate to improve the clarity of the employment status tests to reflect the reality of the modern working relationships. In addition, the government has published the Low Pay Commission’s letter on potential options to address the issue of ‘one-sided flexibility’, which the Taylor Review described as the issue where some businesses have transferred too much business risk to the individual. The reforms announced today reflect the views expressed by Matthew Taylor in his review into Modern Working Practice that:
Measures outlined in the package form part of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy, published last year, which sets out how the whole of the UK can build on its strengths, extend them into the future, and capitalise on new opportunities. Notes to editorsThe Good Work Plan comes as the latest response to the independent Taylor Review of impact modern working practices (2017). The review found that the strength of the UK’s labour market is built on flexibility but that a clearer focus was needed on quality of work as well as the quantity of jobs.
