UK Work Rights provides free, instant guidance across employment, housing, benefits, consumer rights, driving and family law. The facts behind our AI-powered checkers are checked against GOV.UK, ACAS, Shelter and Citizens Advice for 2026–27.
Whether you're facing redundancy, a disciplinary hearing, a housing dispute, or a benefits decision, our free checkers give you a plain English answer in minutes. No login required, completely free.
Every checker asks you to describe your situation in your own words — some also ask a quick question, such as which UK nation you live in — and there is no jargon. You get a plain English read on where you stand, what your options are, and which deadlines apply to you. Each answer is built from statutory figures we have checked against primary sources, so the guidance is based on the law as it stands rather than a general impression of it. AI can still make mistakes, so check anything important against the official source.
Statutory rates change most often in April, and at other dates when new legislation commences. This is a one-person site, so figures are checked and updated by hand rather than automatically, and each one carries the date it was last checked. Recent examples include the abolition of Section 21 in England on 1 May 2026, Statutory Sick Pay becoming a day-one right in April 2026, and the ACAS Early Conciliation period doubling to twelve weeks on 1 December 2025.
Many disputes are settled long before a tribunal or a court hearing, and a clearly written letter is often the first step. Our letter tools cover grievances, disciplinary appeals, redundancy consultation, flexible working requests, deposit disputes, repairs, benefit appeals and consumer complaints. Each one downloads as a properly formatted A4 document you can edit, print or attach to an email.
People who cannot afford a solicitor, do not qualify for legal aid, and need a straight answer quickly. That includes anyone facing redundancy or dismissal, tenants dealing with eviction notices or disrepair, claimants challenging a benefit decision, self-employed workers chasing unpaid invoices, and carers navigating social care assessments.
You do not need a login to use the checkers, and nothing on this site is behind a paywall. The text you type is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to write your answer, and we do not store it once your session ends. The report written for you is kept for a limited time, without your name or email address, so we can check its accuracy - see our Privacy Policy. There is no premium tier and no upsell.
