A free, independent platform built to give every UK worker the knowledge they deserve.
Hi, I'm Matthew — and I built UK Work Rights because I kept seeing the same thing happen to people around me. Friends, family, colleagues — people who were being treated unfairly at work, underpaid, or pushed out of their jobs — and they had no idea what rights they actually had. Not because they weren't smart. But because employment law is deliberately complicated, and getting proper advice costs money most people don't have. So I built this. A free tool that gives anyone in the UK instant, clear guidance on their rights — no login, no fees, no jargon. Just answers.
What started as a simple idea has grown into something I'm genuinely proud of — 62 topic areas, covering everything from zero hours contracts to maternity rights, whistleblowing to minimum wage. Every piece of guidance is cross-referenced against GOV.UK, ACAS, and Citizens Advice. It's updated regularly. And it will always be free.
Because it should be. Your rights as a worker don't come with a price tag — so guidance about them shouldn't either. The site is supported by Journey by Mediavine advertising, which means you get free access and we keep the lights on. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no upsells. If you find it useful and want to support us, a small donation or a review goes a long way — but it's completely optional. Knowledge is the great equaliser. That's what this is about.
UK Work Rights will always be free, independent, and on the side of the worker. We are not a law firm. We don't take referral fees. We don't have investors pushing us to monetise your data. We're just here to help.
Use our free instant checker — no login, no data stored, results in seconds.
