About UK Work Rights
Yes — completely free. Running any checker and reading your full results costs nothing and requires no account. We charge nothing and never will for the core service. Registration is free too, and unlocks PDF downloads and the Letters generator.
All responses are generated by AI and verified against GOV.UK, ACAS guidance and current UK legislation. We update our prompts regularly when laws change. That said, AI can make mistakes — always double-check anything important with ACAS, Citizens Advice or a qualified solicitor before taking action.
No. The situation you describe is sent to the AI to generate your result and then discarded immediately. We do not store, log or share what you type. If you register, your name and email are stored only in your browser's local storage — not on any server. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
No. UK Work Rights provides legal information, not legal advice. There is an important difference — legal advice is tailored to your specific circumstances by a qualified solicitor. What we provide is accurate general information to help you understand your rights. Always seek professional advice before taking formal action.
Employment Rights
You must submit a claim to an Employment Tribunal within 3 months minus one day from the date of dismissal — this becomes 6 months from October 2026 under the Employment Rights Act 2025. Before submitting, you must first contact ACAS for Early Conciliation. Missing the deadline means your claim will almost certainly be rejected.
You are generally entitled to statutory redundancy pay if you have worked for your employer for 2 or more years. The amount depends on your age, weekly pay (capped at £751 per week) and length of service. Use the Employee Rights checker for a detailed breakdown of your specific entitlement.
From 1 April 2026, the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over is £12.71 per hour. The rate for 18–20 year olds is £10.85 per hour, and for under 18s and apprentices it is £8.00 per hour. If you are being paid less than your legal entitlement, you can report it to HMRC.
