Fair Work Agency to Overhaul Employment Rights Enforcement

10/09/2025

The new Fair Work Agency (FWA), part of the Employment Rights Bill, is set to overhaul how employment rights are enforced, and it’s not just talk. With inspection powers, the ability to charge enforcement costs, and even the authority to bring Tribunal claims, the FWA will be one of the most powerful regulators UK employers have seen.

But here’s the important part the FWA isn’t expected to go live until April 2026. That gives businesses time to prepare, but waiting until the last minute could be costly.

To help you cut through the noise, our Supplier Member, Citation, has put together a FREE checklist to explain exactly what the FWA will (and won’t) do, and what employers need to know now to stay compliant.

This simple, actionable checklist covers:

  • What the Fair Work Agency is
  • Why it matters for your business
  • Key employer responsibilities and next steps
  • What the FWA won’t do – and why you’ll still need HR and legal support
