The government has announced it is launching a new watchdog to protect the rights of UK workers – the long-vaunted Single Enforcement Body.
The new workers’ watchdog will take over responsibility for tackling modern slavery, enforcing the minimum wage and protecting agency workers.
The move will see the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate and HMRC’s National Minimum Wage Enforcement combined into a single body.
