Big Change in Workplace Law [Part 5]

Visible to anyone in the world

The government is banning non-disclosure agreements that silence victims of harassment or discrimination unless the victim wants one.

No More Forced Silence

If you have been harassed or discriminated against at work, your employer will not be able to legally stop you from speaking out with a nondisclosure agreement anymore.

What is next?

The details of how this works will be confirmed soon. The law will include:

I. A cooling-off period

II. Time limits on non-disclosure agreements

III. Guarantees that victims can still speak to police, therapists, or support groups
