Propose a change

Employment Rights Act 1996

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

152 Likelihood of full employment.

(1) An employee is not entitled to a redundancy payment in pursuance of a notice of intention to claim if— (a) on the date of service of the notice it was reasonably to be expected that the employee (if he continued to be employed by the same employer) would, not later than four weeks after that date, enter on a period of employment of not less than thirteen weeks during which he would not be laid off or kept on short-time for any week, and (b) the employer gives a counter-notice to the employee within seven days after the service of the notice of intention to claim. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the employee— (a) continues or has continued, during the next four weeks after the date of service of the notice of intention to claim, to be employed by the same employer, and (b) is or has been laid off or kept on short-time for each of those weeks.

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.

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.
