Terms of use & disclaimer

By using Work Entitlements, you agree to use the calculators and guidance on these terms. The site is intended to help you understand statutory employment entitlements; it is not a substitute for advice about your individual circumstances.

Guidance, not legal advice

The information and calculator results are general guidance, not legal, tax, payroll or financial advice. Employment rights can depend on dates, employment status, contracts, collective agreements and facts that a calculator cannot fully assess.

Figures and calculations

We base statutory figures on sources including GOV.UK, HMRC, the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook and the Burgundy Book, and cite the relevant sources on each page. Rates and rules can change, commonly in April. Check the source and your contract before relying on a result.

Your decisions

You remain responsible for decisions made using this site. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Work Entitlements is not liable for loss arising from reliance on a calculator result, an omission, or information that has changed since it was checked. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Disputes and individual advice

If a deadline, dismissal, payment dispute or other important decision is involved, contact Acas, your union, or a qualified employment-law adviser. Tribunal and grievance deadlines can be short.

External links

Links to third-party websites are provided for reference. We do not control those sites, and a link does not mean that we endorse all of their content, services or privacy practices.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
