SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Offer letters and restrictive covenants carry jurisdiction-specific legal risks — misclassification, unenforceable non-competes, missing pay-transparency or wage-notice requirements — that are easy to miss and expensive to fix after the offer goes out. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Jurisdiction and Classification Review: Determines the employee's actual work jurisdiction and validates exempt/non-exempt classification against researched federal and state salary thresholds and duties tests. - Restrictive Covenant Analysis: Researches current enforceability rules for non-competes, non-solicits, and IP assignments in the employee's jurisdiction, with source-tagged citations. - Jurisdiction-Specific Compliance: Checks pay-transparency, ban-the-box, salary-history limits, and required offer notices, including non-US rules where at-will language does not apply. - Use Case: A hiring manager attaches an offer letter for a remote engineer in Colorado and asks whether the non-compete is usable; the skill reviews classification, covenant enforceability, and Colorado's pay-transparency and notice requirements, then outputs an action-item checklist. ## Quick Start Attach the offer letter and ask to review this offer for a hire in the candidate's state, including whether the non-compete is enforceable there.

Frequently Asked Questions about hiring-review

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an offer letter for legal compliance?

Provide the offer letter and the candidate's work location. The review checks jurisdiction, exempt/non-exempt classification, restrictive covenants, and jurisdiction-specific requirements like pay transparency and wage notices, then outputs flagged issues and action items.

How do I check if a non-compete is enforceable in a state?

Enforceability is researched per hire for the employee's actual work jurisdiction, covering covenant type, salary thresholds, notice and garden-leave requirements, and duration limits. Rules are cited from primary sources rather than recalled from memory, since several states have changed their laws recently.

Does at-will employment language apply outside the US?

No. At-will is US-only (and not Montana). UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and other jurisdictions require notice periods, written statement particulars, and statutory protections instead. Adding at-will language to a non-US offer is legally meaningless and can conflict with mandatory terms.

What happens when legal research returns few results for a jurisdiction?

The review stops and reports what was found rather than filling gaps from web search or model knowledge. It offers options to broaden the query, try another research tool, use tagged web results, or flag the item as unverified for a lawyer to decide.

Can a non-lawyer clear an offer letter to send?

Not directly. Before a 'Clear to send' recommendation, non-lawyer users are asked whether an attorney has reviewed the offer, and receive a structured brief covering classification, covenants, jurisdiction requirements, and open questions to bring to counsel.
