Terms of use

These terms cover your use of labourlaws.co.uk. They are short because the site is simple: free guides and tools, no accounts and nothing to buy.

General information, not legal advice

Everything on this site is general information about UK employment law. It is not legal advice about your situation, and reading it does not create any adviser or solicitor relationship. We work hard to keep pages accurate and dated, but the law changes and individual facts matter. Before you act, check the official sources we link to, or get free advice from Acas or Citizens Advice. Our legal disclaimer explains this in more detail.

Calculators and tools

Our calculators give estimates based on the information you enter and the rules as we understand them on the date shown. They cannot take account of everything, such as the terms of your contract, earlier agreements or how a tribunal views your evidence. Treat the result as a starting point, and for time limits always work to the earliest date that could apply.

Quoting and reusing our work

• Text. Our guides are copyright labourlaws.co.uk. You are welcome to quote short extracts with a link to the page. Please ask before republishing a whole article.
• Data. Datasets we publish as downloads, such as CSV files, may be reused, including commercially, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Credit labourlaws.co.uk and link to the page you took the data from.
• Government material. Much of our data comes from public sector information, which is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Our own calculations, such as regional counts and repeat-name matching, are ours and should be credited as such.
• Linking. You can link to any page without asking.

Using the site fairly

Please do not try to disrupt the site, scrape it at a rate that slows it down for other readers, or present our work as your own.

Our responsibility to you

The site is provided free and as it is. We are not responsible for losses that come from relying on general information instead of getting advice on your own case. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under UK law.

Links to other sites

We link to official and third-party sites that we think are useful. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content. Some links may be affiliate links, as explained in our affiliate disclaimer.

Privacy

Our privacy policy explains what personal information we handle and why.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms, and the date at the top shows when they last changed. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Questions to [email protected].
