SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Terminating an employee without checking retaliation, discrimination, and wage-law exposure creates lawsuit risk. This Skill runs a structured pre-termination review that catches high-risk fact patterns before the decision is final. ## Core Features & Use Cases - High-Risk Flag Scan: Checks every termination against a checklist covering recent complaints, protected leave, whistleblowing, thin documentation, comparator problems, and exempt misclassification, with mandatory escalation when any flag fires. - Jurisdiction Research: Researches and cites final-pay timing, accrued-PTO payout, required notices, and WARN/mini-WARN obligations for the employee's specific jurisdiction rather than relying on memory. - Severance and Release Analysis: Evaluates severance offers and release agreements, including OWBPA consideration periods for employees 40 and over and state-specific waiver restrictions. - Use Case: An HR partner asks whether the company can terminate an underperforming analyst in California. The Skill flags a potential exempt misclassification, routes the wage question to wage-hour-qa, researches California final-pay rules, and produces a go/no-go memo with a term-day checklist. ## Quick Start Describe the termination scenario including the employee's role, jurisdiction, reason, tenure, and planned date, and ask for a termination review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an employee termination for legal risk?

Describe the termination scenario including jurisdiction, reason, tenure, age, and planned date. The Skill scans high-risk flags like recent complaints, protected leave, whistleblowing, and thin documentation, then produces a go/no-go memo with escalation requirements.

What high-risk flags does a termination review check?

The checklist covers recent complaints, protected leave, protected class timing, whistleblower activity, thin documentation, comparator problems, contract or handbook promises, and exempt misclassification in high-threshold states like CA, NY, WA, CO, and AK.

Does the termination review handle severance and release agreements?

Yes, it analyzes severance offers and release requirements, including OWBPA consideration and revocation periods for employees 40 and over, group termination disclosures, and state-specific waiver or non-disclosure restrictions. All rules are researched and cited at review time.

Can non-lawyers use this termination review without an attorney?

Non-lawyers can run the review, but a consequential-action gate blocks any clear-to-proceed output until they confirm attorney consultation. The Skill generates a structured brief to bring to counsel covering flags, jurisdiction findings, and open questions.

What are the limitations of an automated termination review?

The Skill checks the decision but does not make it, does not conduct the termination conversation, and does not state jurisdiction rules from memory. It reduces risk by catching obvious problems but cannot guarantee against lawsuits.
