⚠️ Important: Not legal advice

FairSettlement is an information resource. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. Always seek advice from a qualified, regulated employment solicitor before making any legal decisions or signing any agreement.

1. Information only

The calculators, guides, articles and all other content on fairsettlement.co.uk are provided for information and general guidance purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, financial advice or any other form of professional advice.

FairSettlement is not a law firm, is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and does not provide legal services.

2. No solicitor-client relationship

No use of this website creates a solicitor-client relationship between you and FairSettlement. Any information you enter into our calculators is processed locally in your browser and is not transmitted to or stored by FairSettlement.

3. Accuracy of calculator results

Our calculators use statutory formulae and publicly available rates (including HMRC figures, statutory redundancy pay rates, and Employment Tribunal award caps) that we endeavour to keep up to date. However:

Do not rely on calculator results as a substitute for legal or tax advice. Always verify figures with a qualified professional.

4. Employment Rights Act 2025 — January 2027 changes

Our Employment Tribunal Calculator includes information about the proposed abolition of the compensatory award cap from January 2027 under the Employment Rights Act 2025. This is based on legislation as currently enacted and expected secondary legislation. The precise implementation date and details may change. Do not make legal or financial decisions based on anticipated future legislative changes without taking current legal advice.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FairSettlement excludes all liability for:

6. YMYL content — Your Money or Your Life

Google classifies employment law content as "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) content because it relates to decisions that can significantly affect users' financial situations and wellbeing. We take this responsibility seriously. Our guides are researched against primary legislation, ACAS publications and authoritative secondary sources. However, YMYL content requires individual professional advice — please always consult a solicitor for your specific situation.

7. Referral disclosure

FairSettlement may receive referral fees or commissions when users contact employment solicitors or other firms listed or recommended on this website. This does not affect the legal advice you receive — all referred firms are regulated by the SRA and must provide advice in your best interests independently of any commercial relationship with FairSettlement.

8. Advertising

This website displays advertising, including Google AdSense advertisements. Advertisement content is not controlled by FairSettlement and does not constitute an endorsement by FairSettlement of any advertised product or service.

9. Links to third-party websites

Links to third-party websites (including ACAS, gov.uk, and solicitor firm websites) are provided for convenience. FairSettlement is not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of third-party websites.

10. Jurisdiction

This website relates to employment law in England and Wales. Employment law in Scotland and Northern Ireland may differ in some respects. Always confirm which jurisdiction applies to your situation with a qualified solicitor.
