Facts and sources

Product details come from the vendor’s own pricing and feature pages, dated when we checked them. Research findings link to the study, not a summary of a summary. Employment rules link to the government body that sets them, such as GOV.UK or Acas. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say so.
