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.

27I Written policy

(1) Where qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges are paid at, or are otherwise attributable to, a place of business of an employer on more than an occasional and exceptional basis, the employer must have a written policy on dealing with qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges for the place of business. (2) A written policy for a place of business must include the following information— (a) whether the employer requires or encourages customers to pay tips, gratuities and service charges at the place of business; (b) how the employer ensures that all qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges paid at, or otherwise attributable to, the place of business are dealt with in accordance with this Part, including how the employer allocates qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges between workers at the place of business. (3) Where an employer is required by this section to have a written policy for a place of business, the employer must make the written policy available to all workers of the employer at the place of business. (4) Subsection (5) applies in a case where— (a) an employer is not required by this section to have a written policy for a place of business, but (b) the employer would be required by this section to have such a written policy if worker-received tips paid at, or otherwise attributable to, the place of business were qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges. (5) In that case, the employer must make the following information available to all workers of the employer at the place of business— (a) the fact that the employer is not required by this section to have a written policy for the place of business, and (b) the reasons why the employer is not required by this section to have such a written policy. (6) Where— (a) an employer makes a written policy available to workers at a place of business under this section, and (b) the employer subsequently amends that policy, the employer must make the amended version of the policy available to all workers of the employer at the place of business.

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.
