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.

27BU Remedies

(1) Where an employment tribunal finds a complaint under section 27BT(1)(a) well-founded, the tribunal must— (a) make a declaration to that effect, and (b) order the employer to pay to the worker the amount of the payment under section 27BP(1) which it finds is due to the worker. (2) Where an employment tribunal finds a complaint under section 27BT(1)(b) or (c) well-founded, the tribunal— (a) must make a declaration to that effect, and (b) may order the employer to make a payment to the worker of such amount, not exceeding the specified amount, as the tribunal considers just and equitable in all the circumstances. (3) But an employment tribunal may not make an order under subsection (2)(b) relating to a notice given in purported compliance with section 27BR(2) if the tribunal makes an order under subsection (1)(b) relating to the same payment to which the notice related. (4) In determining— (a) whether to make an order under subsection (2)(b), and (b) if so, how much to order the employer to pay, an employment tribunal must have regard, in particular, to the seriousness of the matter complained of.

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.
