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.

As published

27X Interpretation

(1) In this Part— “customer”, in relation to an employer, includes any person who is provided with services by the employer; “place of business”, in relation to an employer, includes any location where the activities of the employer’s business are carried out (whether on a permanent or temporary basis). (2) Where a qualifying tip, gratuity or service charge is— (a) attributable to a place of business, but (b) paid at a different place of business, this Part applies to the qualifying tip, gratuity or service charge only in relation to the place of business to which it is attributable. (3) Where an employer-received tip or a worker-received tip is neither paid at, nor otherwise attributable to, a place of business of the employer, this Part applies as if— (a) the tip were attributable to a place of business of the employer, and (b) all workers of the employer were at that place of business (whether or not those workers were also at any other place of business of the employer). (4) Where subsection (3) applies in relation to two or more employer-received tips or worker-received tips, all such tips are attributable (in accordance with that subsection) to the same place of business of the employer. (5) For the purposes of this Part an employer and a person are to be treated as associated if— (a) one is a company of which the other (directly or indirectly) has control, or (b) both are companies of which a third person (directly or indirectly) has control, and “associated person” is to be construed accordingly.

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.
