SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Wage-and-hour questions change by state and country, and relying on memory can produce incorrect thresholds, timing rules, and penalties.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Jurisdiction-aware rule research and citation: Identifies the controlling wage/hour rule for the specific jurisdiction and cites primary sources with pinpoint cites and currency notes.
  • Classification, exemption, and overtime coverage: Supports exempt vs. non-exempt analysis, overtime obligations (including state overlays), meal/rest break rules, leave and final pay timing, and PTO payout requirements.
  • Back-pay computation scaffolding: When asked for computations, uses a regular-rate and premium calculation scaffold that accounts for exclusions and pay posture rather than simple hourly math, with verify tagging for specialist numbers.
  • Close-call flagging: Clearly marks borderline or shifting-law scenarios for human verification instead of guessing.

Quick Start

Use wage-hour-qa to answer an employment law question for a specific state by asking: what is the rule in [State] for whether we must pay overtime for [scenario], and what primary sources control it?

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine if an employee is exempt or non-exempt for overtime pay in my state?▼

Wage and hour final pay timing rules vary by state and require checking the currently operative jurisdiction rule. The answer depends on the specific state's primary authority, which provides pinpoint citations for final paycheck delivery deadlines and potential penalties.

What is the rule for PTO payout when an employee quits?▼

PTO payout rules at termination depend on your specific jurisdiction's wage and hour laws. You must research the currently operative rule to determine if accrued leave counts as earned wages, using primary sources with currency verification for accuracy.

How do I calculate back pay for overtime using the regular rate of pay?▼

Meal and rest break requirements depend entirely on your jurisdiction's specific wage and hour laws. You must research the currently operative rule for your state to determine break entitlements, applying primary authority with currency notes and pinpoint citations.

Can I use automated employment law Q&A for close-call wage exemption scenarios?▼

For close-call exemption scenarios, automated Q&A clearly marks borderline or shifting-law situations for human verification instead of guessing. It flags unverified coverage and provides citation provenance so you can confirm the jurisdiction-specific rule.
