Workers on zero-hours contracts will gain rights to guaranteed hours. Your contracts need updating.

“We had zero HR documentation when we grew to 8 staff. StaffVault generated our entire employee handbook in 20 minutes. Our accountant couldn't believe how professional it looked.”
Sarah M.
Retail business owner, Manchester
“When an employee raised a grievance, we had no procedure in place. StaffVault saved us — we had a compliant grievance process within the hour. The ACAS references gave us real confidence.”
David K.

“Our HR consultant quoted £3,500 for an employee handbook. StaffVault did it for £7.99/month and the quality is just as good. We use it for contracts, warning letters, everything.”

Common questions
UK employers must provide a written statement of employment particulars from day one (Employment Rights Act 1996 s.1). If you have 5+ employees, you need a written health and safety policy (HSWA 1974 s.2(3)). Disciplinary and grievance procedures should follow the ACAS Code of Practice — tribunals can adjust awards by 25% if you don't. GDPR/data protection policies, equal opportunities policies, and anti-harassment policies are effectively mandatory for any responsible employer.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces the biggest reforms to UK employment law in decades. Key changes include: day-one unfair dismissal rights (from 2027), restrictions on fire and rehire, zero-hours contract regulation, third-party harassment liability, and strengthened protections for pregnant workers. Every UK employer will need to update their disciplinary procedures, contracts, and handbook policies before these changes take effect.
StaffVault documents are generated using comprehensive UK employment law knowledge covering the Employment Rights Act 1996 & 2025, Equality Act 2010, ACAS Code of Practice, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, UK GDPR, Working Time Regulations, and more. However, StaffVault is not a substitute for legal advice. For complex situations or tribunal representation, we recommend consulting an employment solicitor.
Free templates are generic, often outdated, and rarely cover the Employment Rights Act 2025 changes. StaffVault generates documents tailored to your specific business — your industry, employee count, working arrangements, and preferences. Every document cites the specific legislation it's based on and follows the latest ACAS guidance. And you can regenerate whenever the law changes.
Yes. Our disciplinary policies and grievance procedures strictly follow the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. This is critical because employment tribunals can increase awards by up to 25% if an employer unreasonably fails to follow the ACAS Code. We also generate individual disciplinary letters (warnings, invitations to hearings) and dismissal letters.
£7.99/month gives you unlimited access to all 16+ document types — employee handbooks, policies, contracts, and letters. Generate as many documents as you need. Regenerate when the law changes. No per-document charges. Cancel anytime.
