Two long-awaited bills - one that makes it illegal for employers to withhold tips from workers, and another that gives employees the right to neonatal leave and pay - have passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons.
Plans to give employees the right to request flexible working from the first day of their job have been confirmed by the Government, although no date has been set for its introduction.
Almost nine in 10 organisations trialling a four-day week with no loss of pay are likely to continue with a shorter working week beyond the six-month pilot.
The UK Government has published guidance on employment status that defines the rights and protections employees are entitled to, including pay, leave and working conditions.
