Accessibility statement

Last reviewed: 29 April 2026

Our commitment

PaySlipIQ is built to be usable by everyone — including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, magnification, or who have cognitive accessibility needs. We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

What works well today

• • Keyboard navigation: every interactive element is reachable and operable via keyboard alone (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space).
• • Screen reader support: semantic HTML, ARIA labels, alt text on meaningful images, and visible focus indicators throughout.
• • Plain English: every guide and tool explanation is written for an average UK reading age (no payroll jargon without definitions).
• • Colour contrast: body text meets 4.5:1 against background; we are progressively auditing call-to-action contrast (see below).
• • Resizable text: the site reflows cleanly at 200% browser zoom.
• • Form labels: every input has an associated <label>; error messages are announced to assistive technology.

Known issues we are actively fixing

• • Some primary CTA buttons use a green-on-white pairing where the contrast ratio is being audited. We are darkening the green to clear WCAG AA 4.5:1 by Q3 2026.
• • The /check page form is currently rendered client-side — we are adding a server-rendered fallback so users with JavaScript disabled or restricted can still submit a manual entry.
• • The skip-to-content link is present on /check but not yet on every page — we are rolling it out site-wide.
• • We do not yet provide a Welsh-language version. We are evaluating this for 2027.

Preparation of this statement

This statement was prepared on 29 April 2026 following an internal accessibility audit covering keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, colour contrast, and form-label association. It will be reviewed quarterly and updated each time we publish a major change.
