Built by someone who lived through it
YourWorkRights was not created in a law firm or a boardroom. It was built by someone who found themselves alone, facing a powerful institution, with no idea where to start.
Why this site exists
Most employment rights resources in the UK are written by lawyers, for lawyers. They're accurate, but they're not built for someone sitting at their kitchen table at 11pm, trying to work out if what just happened to them at work was actually illegal.
YourWorkRights exists to bridge that gap. Plain-English guidance, practical tools, and real support — for people who need it most, at the moment they need it.
Every toolkit, template, and guide on this site was built from real experience — navigating grievances, Subject Access Requests, ICO complaints, ACAS early conciliation, and an Employment Tribunal as a litigant in person. Not as a professional. As someone who was treated unfairly and had to figure it out.
Our mission
We are always on the side of the employee. No corporate sponsors. No law firm behind us. No conflict of interest.
Most employees don't know what they're entitled to — and employers count on that. HR departments, institutional lawyers, and management consultants are well-resourced. Individual employees usually aren't. We exist to level that playing field.
Everything on this site is free. The toolkits, the templates, the guides — all of it. The optional paid consultation exists to support the running of the site and to offer personal help to those who need it.
Our values
Always on the employee's side
We have no corporate clients, no employer subscribers, no conflict of interest. Full stop.
Honest, not reassuring
We tell you when your case is weak as well as when it's strong. False hope doesn't help you.
Practical, not theoretical
We care about what you can actually do today — not abstract legal principles.
Private and safe
We don't sell your data, share your information, or log what you submit to our tools.
What we are not
We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, and we always recommend consulting a qualified employment solicitor for advice specific to your situation.
We are not funded by employers, unions, insurers, or any organisation with a stake in employment disputes. We are independent.
