What problem does it solve?

It helps users review an employment offer letter for pre-employment and contract risks in UK hiring, including Right to Work compliance, Written Statement of Particulars content, employment status, restrictive covenants, and Equality Act pre-offer obligations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Jurisdiction-aware guidance: Applies the correct rules based on the worker’s actual work location (England & Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland), including explicit flags where the jurisdiction is not covered by the footprint table.
