Unpaid Work Experience (Prohibition) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would make it illegal for employers to require people to work without pay as part of work experience or internship programmes. Currently, some unpaid work placements are legal, but this bill would change that and require all workers to be paid at least the minimum wage, even if they're learning on the job.

Presented by Lord Holmes of Richmond.
