Employee handbook software for UK law
What the product does, how it compares with templates and HR suites, and what it costs.
Comparing HR compliance tools?
Most HR tools store your handbook. Regulyn reads it.
If you are weighing up HR platforms, here is the difference that matters: a document library will not tell you your disciplinary policy breaches the ACAS code. A compliance engine will. Judge it on your own handbook, free.
7-day free trial. No credit card. No demo call required.
The difference
Five differences you can verify in one trial
01
Employment law is the engine
Most HR platforms are people-admin tools with a document store attached. Regulyn is built the other way up: UK employment law is the engine, and your handbook is checked against 59 legislation and guidance sources, section by section.
02
It reads your handbook
Uploading a PDF into a portal is not compliance. Regulyn runs a ranked gap analysis on what your policies actually say, grades each issue by severity, and cites the specific law behind it.
03
Every gap comes with a draft fix
Every gap comes with an AI-drafted compliant replacement in your tone of voice. Accept it, edit it, or draft the missing policy from scratch, then export to Microsoft Word or PDF.
04
Ready for what is coming
Day-one rights are live and the unfair dismissal cap disappears in January 2027. Regulyn tracks the Employment Rights Act 2025 rollout and tells you which sections need updating as each provision lands.
05
No contract to find out
No demo call, no annual commitment to see it work. The 7-day trial is free with no card, and a full compliance check on your existing handbook fits inside it.
The test
The comparison that settles it: run your own handbook through it.
Feature tables are marketing. The honest test is what a tool finds in the handbook you actually have. Paste yours in, and within minutes you will see every gap ranked by severity with the legislation cited behind it.
- Checked against 59 UK legislation and guidance sources.
- Issues ranked Critical, High, Medium and Low.
- AI-drafted compliant fixes, exportable to Word or PDF.

Where it stops
What Regulyn does not do
A fair comparison includes the limits, so here are ours.
It is not an advice line
Regulyn is software, not a consultancy retainer. It has no advice line and no insurance, which is why it costs a fraction of the price. For a contentious individual case you should still take legal advice.
It does not replace your HR system
Keep your existing tool for holiday and absence. Regulyn handles the handbook: auditing, drafting, publishing and keeping it current as the law changes.
It does not decide for you
Every redraft is a suggestion you can accept, edit or discard. Each gap cites the specific law behind it, so you can check the reasoning before anything changes.

Questions
Questions from people comparing tools
How is Regulyn different from the big HR platforms?
The big platforms are built around people admin: holiday booking, absence, rotas, onboarding. Their handbook features are usually a document library with templates. Regulyn is compliance-first: it reads your actual policies, checks them against 59 UK legislation and guidance sources including the Employment Rights Act 2025, ranks every gap by severity with legal citations, and drafts the fixes. If your problem is "is my handbook legally sound", that is the whole product.
Can I use Regulyn alongside my existing HR system?
Yes. Regulyn does not need to replace your HR admin tool. Many businesses keep their existing system for holiday and absence and use Regulyn for the handbook: auditing, drafting, publishing and keeping it current as the law changes.
How hard is it to move my handbook into Regulyn?
It takes minutes rather than a migration project. Paste your existing handbook or individual policies and Regulyn structures them into standard UK policy types automatically. Your first gap analysis can run in the same session.
Does Regulyn include advice lines or insurance like some HR services?
No. Regulyn is software, not a consultancy retainer, which is why it costs a fraction of the price. It does the systematic work: checking policies against legislation, citing sources, drafting fixes. For contentious individual cases you should still take legal advice.
What does switching actually cost?
Nothing to find out. The 7-day trial is free with no credit card, and running your existing handbook through the gap analysis is the best way to compare: you see exactly what Regulyn finds that your current setup has not.
Is Regulyn only for small businesses?
No. The gap analysis, drafting and chatbot scale from a five-person business with no HR team to companies with an HR function that wants the systematic legislation-checking done by software rather than by hand.
