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

27BW Zero hours workers, etc

(1) This section applies in relation to— (a) a duty imposed on an employer in respect of a worker, and (b) a right conferred on a worker in respect of an employer, by or under any provision of Chapter 2, 3 or 4. (2) The duty or right is excluded if— (a) the worker is employed by the employer under a worker’s contract (“the contract”), (b) a relevant collective agreement contains— (i) terms that expressly exclude the duty or right, and (ii) terms that expressly replace the excluded duty or right, (c) the terms within paragraph (b)(ii) are incorporated into the contract, and (d) the employer notifies the worker in writing of the incorporation and effect of those terms. (3) A relevant collective agreement is a collective agreement that is— (a) in writing, and (b) made by or on behalf of— (i) one or more trade unions which each have a certificate of independence, and (ii) the worker’s employer.

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.
