Covers the employment rules that carry real penalties — exempt and non-exempt classification, overtime and hours, employee versus contractor status, work authorization and recordkeeping, accommodation requests, and the notices and retention obligations that go with them. Use this to classify a role, review a contractor arrangement, respond to an accommodation request, work out what records to keep and for how long, or sanity-check a practice you inherited.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Employment compliance

This is the area where a well-intentioned decision made quickly costs the most later, because the
mistakes are cheap to make, invisible for years, and expensive per-employee once found.

**This structures the questions and the common failure patterns. Employment law varies by country,
state and locality, changes often, and turns on specific facts — get a qualified employment adviser
before acting on a classification, a termination, or a policy that applies to everyone.**

## Classification is decided by the work, not by the title or the agreement

**Exempt versus non-exempt** determines whether someone is owed overtime. It turns on what the
person actually does day to day and on a salary threshold, not on being salaried, having a senior
title, or preferring it that way. A misclassified role accrues unpaid overtime quietly and for
everyone in it.

**Employee versus contractor** turns on control and independence — who decides how, when and where
the work is done, who supplies the tools, whether the person serves other clients, and how
integrated the work is with the business. A signed contractor agreement does not settle it. The

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/employment-compliance@sha256:5fa2a1cb999957f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0e7cd01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
