Fair Work Agency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fair Work Agency (FWA) is an executive agency of the Department for Business and Trade and is responsible for enforcing employment rights in the United Kingdom.[1]
The FWA was created on 7 April 2026 following the passing of the Employment Rights Act 2025.[2] It brought together the powers of four former public bodies; the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, the National Minimum Wage enforcement team and the Office of the Director of Labour Market Abuse.[3]
