What we cover

What our HR tools cover

Find the HR topics and locations our tools cover, along with the sources behind them.

We check each tool’s purpose, supporting sources, and how it works in practice.

The sources behind our tools

Our reference notes explain important figures and employment requirements. You can find the original source, relevant assumptions, and review date in each note.

Federal and state coverage

Our general HR tools draw on federal requirements and established HR practices. They also identify state rules to check.

Minimum wage, paid leave, and pay transparency requirements vary by state. Nineteen states raised their minimum wage effective 1 January 2026 (Economic Policy Institute). Location-specific tools, including the US State Pay Transparency Pack and the Ontario job posting pack, identify the jurisdictions they cover.

Source review dates

The review date tells you when we last checked the document against its cited sources.

Legal questions and HR projects

For legal questions specific to your situation, consult a qualified attorney.

For larger HR projects, we offer advisory support with the scope agreed in writing.

Find a tool that fits your work

Answer four questions in the tool finder. You will get one recommended tool and an explanation of why it fits your work.
