What it does

Employment Compliance is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Authorization and RBAC

Example prompts

  • “Use the employment-compliance skill to cover the employment rules that carry real penalties — exempt and non-exempt classification, overtime and…”
  • “/employment-compliance”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Employment Compliance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 640 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
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.

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 common pattern that fails is a long-term contractor who works your hours, on your equipment, under your direction, on core work.

Reclassify when the facts change. A contractor who has become a de facto employee does not stay a contractor because nobody revisited it.

Hours, breaks and the records that prove them

Non-exempt time has to be recorded, including work done outside scheduled hours. Answering messages after hours is time worked, and an organization that expects it while not recording it has created an unpaid-hours exposure with an audit trail in its own chat logs.

Rules on breaks, rest periods, split shifts, on-call time and travel time vary sharply by jurisdiction and are the ones most often missed by a policy written for headquarters and applied everywhere.

Work authorization and personnel records

Verify work authorization consistently for everyone, on the same timeline, using the same process. Inconsistency is itself the problem: applying extra scrutiny to some candidates is a discrimination exposure independent of the underlying check.

Keep personnel records separate by type. Medical and accommodation information, immigration verification, and investigation files belong in separate confidential files rather than in the general personnel file — access to each is a different question.

Accommodation is a conversation with a record, not a decision

When someone requests an accommodation — for disability, religion, or pregnancy in most regimes — what is owed is an interactive process: understand the limitation, discuss options, and either provide something workable or document why every option was an undue burden.

Most failures are procedural rather than substantive. The request was handled informally by a manager, no record was kept, and there is nothing to show that the process happened.

Retention, notices, and the boring obligations

Required postings and notices, retention periods for payroll, hiring and leave records, and mandatory reporting all have specific durations and formats. None of them is interesting and all of them are checked first in a dispute, because they are the cheapest thing to check.

Set retention by the longest applicable requirement, and suspend disposal entirely when litigation or an investigation is reasonably anticipated.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • Classify a role by title, by what the person prefers, or by what the last company did.
  • Treat a signed contractor agreement as settling contractor status.
  • Let a manager resolve an accommodation request without a record that the process happened.
  • Apply one jurisdiction's rules to everyone because the policy was written there.
