Employment Rights Act 2025: What employers need to know

Blog

Blog
If your organisation uses non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or confidentiality clauses in settlement agreements or employment contracts, read on. New proposals could soon make it unlawful for employers to use NDAs to stop employees speaking out about harassment or discrimination at work.
