<p>We are committed to supporting all workers across the UK and have recently brought
forward several reforms which will help protect workers in the retail and distribution
sector.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2022 we made sure 2.5 million people received a pay
rise raising the National Minimum and National Living Wages. This was the largest
ever cash increase to the National Living Wage and will put over £1,000 a year into
a full-time workers’ pay packet, helping to ease cost of living pressures.</p><p>
</p><p>Additionally, on 6 July we brought forward legislation to widen the ban on
exclusivity clauses, which restrict staff from working for multiple employers, to
contracts where the guaranteed weekly income is equivalent to or below the Lower Earnings
Limit of £123 a week.</p>
