The government has criticized overly strict post-employment restrictions, arguing they now exceed reasonable limits and may hinder workers’ ability to transition between jobs. Concerns have been raised about clauses that prevent employees from taking roles in competing industries or using their professional experience elsewhere. Officials suggest such measures could be stifling mobility and innovation in the workforce. The statement comes amid broader debates over fair labor practices and contractual fairness.
The prime minister says restrictions on what workers can do after leaving roles have "gone too far".
