The Government’s new Fair Work Agency has been pitched as a landmark moment for workers’ rights. Billed as the enforcement muscle behind the Employment Rights Bill, it promises to tackle wage underpayment, ensure fair treatment, and finally bring together a patchwork of regulators into one unified system.
On paper, it sounds like a win for both workers and responsible employers. But as with many ambitious reforms, there’s a fine line between progress and overreach. Will this new body genuinely make work fairer, or will it simply add to the growing list of compliance demands that HR teams are already struggling to navigate?
