Law updates for employers

When one of the official sources DraftRight watches for its employer documents changes, and a person at DraftRight has checked the change, we email a short note on what changed. It is free, and every email has an unsubscribe link.

What we watch

Every week, DraftRight checks these official sources for its employer documents, on legislation.gov.uk, GOV.UK and the bodies that publish them:

• Employment Rights Act 1996, section 1
• Employment Rights Act 1996, section 86
• Working Time Regulations 1998, regulation 13
• GOV.UK: Rates and thresholds for employers 2026 to 2027
• GOV.UK: Implementing the Plan to Make Work Pay and the Employment Rights Act
• The SRA's guidance on non-disclosure agreements
• The Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures
• GOV.UK: Workplace pensions, what you, your employer and the government pay
• Working Time Regulations 1998, regulation 15B
• The Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures, full text

These are the rules for England, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland has its own employment law, which these updates do not cover.

How it works

1. Create a free account, or sign in, and choose Employer.
2. Tick the box for law updates. We never tick it for you.
3. When one of these sources changes, a person at DraftRight checks the change before anything is sent.
4. You get a short email about it. You can unsubscribe in any email, or untick the box in your Account.

A law update is a notice about a change in an official source. It is not legal advice.
