We heard from the Minister how he is working hard to ensure that the Fair Pay Agreements Bill will support employers who are raising pay rates by preventing others from undercutting them. The Minister said that employers with higher pay rates are less likely to be affected by fair payment agreements because they are about minimum standards. The Minister described the bill as the Government's biggest legislative priority. He said the bill is aimed at stopping the race to the bottom, where employers compete on wages rather than on innovation or by offering better service or products, and it does this by establishing minimum terms and conditions for employees.
