Why We Exist

Employment law in the UK is notoriously complex. With the introduction of the Employment Rights Act 2025 and the significant changes taking effect in April 2026, workers need reliable tools to understand their entitlements without paying for expensive legal consultations.

Our E-E-A-T Commitment

Google's Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) standards are at the core of our platform. We ensure our rankings and your trust are earned through:

  • Legislative Accuracy: Every calculator is built using official UK government statutory rates and updated within 24 hours of any new legislative announcements.
  • Expert Fact-Checking: Our formulas are cross-referenced with ACAS guidelines and the Employment Rights Act 1996 (and subsequent 2025/26 updates).
  • No Data Storage: We believe in privacy. Your calculations are performed locally in your browser—we never store or see your financial or personal data.
  • 100% Free Access: Legal information should not be behind a paywall. Our tools are, and always will be, free to use.

How We Stay Updated

The UK government reviews statutory rates (like the National Minimum Wage, Redundancy Pay Caps, and SSP) every April. We proactively monitor the Low Pay Commission and Department for Business and Trade reports to ensure our 2026 calculators are ready before the laws even take effect.

Our Methodology

Our calculators use a "Surgical Logic" approach. Instead of broad estimates, we account for nuances like age-banding in redundancy, qualifying periods for maternity pay, and the new 2026 "Day One" rights for sick pay and paternity leave. This ensures that the figure you see on FairWorkHub.co.uk is as close as possible to what you would receive in a formal legal assessment.

ℹ️ Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, FairWorkHub.co.uk provides general guidance and not formal legal advice. Always consult an employment solicitor or ACAS for specific legal disputes.
