Executive summary of consultation on legislation to address modern slavery and worker exploitation: Summary of feedback
We are taking a proactive approach to ensure employers, facilitators of service and workers in the sex industry understand their rights and legal obligations.
The Employment Relations Act 2000 will be amended to clarify contracting arrangements, simplify personal grievances and reduce complexity at the start of employment relationships. The Government has reintroduced the ability to make pay deductions in response to partial strikes.
Feedback was sought on a legislative response to modern slavery and worker exploitation, forced labour, people trafficking and slavery.
