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

207 Rights and liabilities accruing after death.

(1) Any right arising under any of the provisions of this Act to which this section applies which accrues after the death of an employee devolves as if it had accrued before his death. (2) Where an employment tribunal determines under any provision of Part XI that an employer is liable to pay to a personal representative of a deceased employee— (a) the whole of a redundancy payment to which he would have been entitled but for some provision of Part XI or section 206, or (b) such part of such a redundancy payment as the tribunal thinks fit, the reference in subsection (1) to a right includes any right to receive it. (3) Where— (a) by virtue of any of the provisions to which this section applies a personal representative is liable to pay any amount, and (b) the liability has not accrued before the death of the employer, it shall be treated as a liability of the deceased employer which had accrued immediately before his death.

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.
