SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants by running a jurisdiction check, classification sanity check, and restrictive-covenant enforceability workflow so potential issues are surfaced before an offer goes out.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Jurisdiction footprint checks: Determines the operative jurisdiction based on where the person will work (including remote vs. hybrid nuances) and flags when the configured jurisdiction table lacks coverage.
  • Exempt vs. non-exempt classification review: Validates exempt status using researched pay thresholds and duties tests rather than memory, and flags likely misclassification.
  • Restrictive covenant review (jurisdiction-specific): Reviews non-competes, non-solicits, confidentiality/trade-secret terms, and IP/assignment clauses with researched enforceability rules, including currency and coverage gaps.
  • Jurisdiction-specific compliance prompts: Calls out pay-transparency, ban-the-box, salary-history limits, and required notices applicable to the hire.

Quick Start

Use the hiring-review skill to review the attached offer letter by running the Skill command with the offer letter file and the candidate’s work location so it can produce a jurisdiction-checked review with specific action items.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an offer letter for legal risks before sending it to a candidate?

How does a jurisdiction check work for remote employment offer letters?

A jurisdiction check for remote offer letters determines the operative jurisdiction based on where the person will work, applying specific state or country requirements like pay transparency rules and salary-history limits to the document review.

What is restrictive covenant enforceability review for employment offers?

Restrictive covenant enforceability review analyzes non-competes, non-solicits, confidentiality, and IP assignment clauses against researched jurisdiction-specific rules to identify coverage gaps and potential enforceability issues in an offer letter.

How do I validate exempt vs non-exempt classification when drafting an offer letter?

Validating exempt vs non-exempt classification during offer letter drafting requires applying researched pay thresholds and duties tests for the specific jurisdiction rather than relying on memory, flagging likely misclassification before the offer goes out.

Does the offer letter review process handle pay transparency and salary history limits?

Yes, the offer letter review process handles pay transparency and salary history limits by applying jurisdiction-specific compliance prompts that call out required notices and ban-the-box rules applicable to the specific hire location.

What happens if the jurisdiction coverage is missing during an offer letter review?

If jurisdiction coverage is missing during an offer letter review, the system produces a structured, citation-tagged output and generates an escalation to flag the lack of coverage in the configured jurisdiction table.
