Read guide →How these guides are produced
Each guide starts with a defined comparison or calculation, shows the arithmetic using illustrative inputs, explains the assumptions and links to the relevant calculator. Where a question turns into employment rights, holiday entitlement or working-time law, the guide points to GOV.UK or Acas instead of presenting Work Decisions as the authority.
