Editorial Policy
How content on this site is researched, written, reviewed and corrected.
Who writes and maintains this content
Calculators and guidance on this site are written and maintained under the byline of Ruby Miller, our HR & Employment Law Content Lead. Every page is cross-checked against the official primary source for its country before publication — see Sources for the full list.
Our editorial standards
- No fabricated statistics. Every figure traces back to a specific, named official source.
- Dated, not evergreen. Statutory rates change; every page shows when it was last verified rather than implying permanence.
- Limitations disclosed, not hidden. Every calculator explicitly states what it doesn’t model, rather than quietly producing a wrong answer for an edge case.
- Formulas shown, not just results. Readers can see and check the calculation, not just trust a black-box number.
- No legal or payroll advice. Content is informational — see our Disclaimer.
How we handle genuinely uncertain or contested rules
Employment law isn’t always a single clean number. Where official guidance is ambiguous, where a rule is being actively phased in or reformed (such as New Zealand’s incoming Employment Leave Act 2026, or Ireland’s paused Statutory Sick Pay increase), or where regional variation makes one universal answer misleading, we say so directly rather than picking an answer and presenting it as settled.
Corrections
If you spot a rate, formula, or figure that looks incorrect or out of date, we want to know. Statutory rates change frequently and across many jurisdictions, so genuine errors and figures that have simply gone stale since our last review are both possible.
