The Seafarers’ Wages Regulations 2024

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

39 Absences from work to be reduced from the total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period

(1) The hours a seafarer is absent from work are to be subtracted from the total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period if all of the following conditions are met— (a) the employer is entitled under the seafarer’s contract to reduce the annual salary due to the absence; (b) the employer pays the seafarer less than the normal proportion of annual salary in the pay reference period as a result of the absence. (2) The hours during which a seafarer takes industrial action are to be subtracted from the total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period if an annual salary was payable for those hours, or would have been payable but for the industrial action.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
