(2) A standing statement of fixed deductions satisfies this subsection if— (a) it is in writing, (b) it contains, in relation to each deduction comprised in the aggregate amount of deductions, particulars of— (i) the amount of the deduction, (ii) the intervals at which the deduction is to be made, and (iii) the purpose for which it is made, and (c) it is (in accordance with subsection (5)) effective at the date on which the pay statement is given. (3) A standing statement of fixed deductions may be amended, whether by— (a) addition of a new deduction, (b) a change in the particulars, or (c) cancellation of an existing deduction, by notice in writing, containing particulars of the amendment, given by the employer to the worker. (4) An employer who has given to a worker a standing statement of fixed deductions shall— (a) within the period of twelve months beginning with the date on which the first standing statement was given, and (b) at intervals of not more than twelve months afterwards, re-issue it in a consolidated form incorporating any amendments notified in accordance with subsection (3). (5) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c) a standing statement of fixed deductions— (a) becomes effective on the date on which it is given to the worker, and (b) ceases to be effective at the end of the period of twelve months beginning with that date or, where it is re-issued in accordance with subsection (4), with the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the date of the last re-issue.

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.
