SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents wrongful-termination, retaliation, discrimination, and wage-and-hour exposure by running a structured high-risk review before a termination decision is finalized.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • High-risk flag scan: Detects issues such as recent complaints, protected leave, protected-class timing, whistleblowing, thin documentation, comparators, handbook/contract promises, and potential exempt misclassification.
  • Jurisdiction-specific requirements: Researches and cites rules for final pay timing, PTO payout, required termination notices, and WARN/mini-WARN obligations when applicable.
  • Severance and release readiness: Applies severance/release considerations with OWBPA/older-worker protections and state-specific waiver constraints, ensuring the right consideration/revocation framework is used.
  • Escalation and documentation checks: Forces escalation when high-risk flags fire and verifies the “paper trail” that supports the stated reason for termination.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for wrongful termination risks before firing an employee?

To check for wrongful termination risks, run a structured termination review to scan for high-risk flags like recent complaints, protected leave, protected-class timing, and thin documentation before finalizing the decision.

What final pay and PTO payout rules apply when terminating an employee?

Final pay and PTO payout rules depend on the employee's jurisdiction. A termination review researches and cites jurisdiction-specific final pay timing, PTO payout, required termination notices, and WARN obligations.

How do I ensure severance agreements comply with OWBPA older worker protections?

To ensure severance agreements comply with OWBPA protections, apply severance and release considerations that verify the correct consideration and revocation framework alongside state-specific waiver constraints.

When do I need to research WARN Act or mini-WARN obligations for a termination?

You must research WARN or mini-WARN obligations when applicable during a termination review, ensuring jurisdiction-specific notice requirements are cited and verified before proceeding with the termination.

What escalation triggers should I watch for during an employment law risk assessment?

Employment law risk assessment escalation triggers fire when high-risk flags are detected, forcing escalation and verifying the paper trail that supports the stated reason for termination.

Can I review a termination decision without complete documentation or comparators data?

Reviewing a termination decision without complete documentation is risky because termination reviews specifically flag thin documentation and comparators as high-risk issues requiring escalation before proceeding.
