About EmployerKit

What is EmployerKit?

EmployerKit is an employment law guidance platform for UK employers. We publish plain English guides on employment law, HR compliance, and workforce management, and we build tools that help employers check and improve their compliance.

Our core focus is the Employment Rights Act 2025, the biggest change to UK employment law in a generation. From April 2026 through 2027, UK employers face a sequence of new obligations covering sick pay, parental leave, zero hours contracts, flexible working, and unfair dismissal. EmployerKit exists to help employers navigate those changes without needing a solicitor or an HR department.

Who is EmployerKit for?

We write for UK employers, specifically:

• SME owners and managers (businesses with 1 to 250 employees) who do not have in-house legal teams and need to understand their obligations quickly.
• HR managers and office managers who need reliable reference material for day-to-day people management decisions.
• Accountants and bookkeepers who advise small business clients on employment matters.

We do not write for employees, employment lawyers, or large enterprises. If you are an employee looking for your rights, ACAS (acas.org.uk) is the best free resource.

How we work

Guides on EmployerKit are written in plain English, from an employer perspective. We aim to tell you what the law means for your business and what you need to do, not just describe the legal position in abstract terms.

We update our content regularly as law and guidance changes. Every guide shows a "last updated" date. If you spot something out of date, please get in touch.

Our tools

The EmployerKit Audit is our first compliance tool. Upload your employment contract, handbook, or HR policies and get back a red/amber/green gap analysis against ERA 2025 requirements, with draft replacement clauses in plain English. It costs £49 for a one-time audit, or £29/month for ongoing monitoring.
