Example Output
Example 1: Termination Scenario Analysis
Situation: You're terminating a 52-year-old male employee for alleged poor performance.
Compliance Analysis:
- Age Discrimination Risk: Medium-High. Termination of older employee requires documented performance issues prior to termination decision (not created after).
- Documentation Assessment: Critical gap—no prior performance reviews or improvement plan on file.
- Required Actions:
- Review objective performance metrics for past 12 months
- Check if similarly-situated younger employees with same performance were retained
- Verify no recent negative changes in treatment
- Defense Strategy: If proceeding, document current decision date, ensure objective measures support termination, create separation agreement.
Example 2: Classification Review
Situation: Classifying a software developer earning $45,000 as exempt (salaried, no overtime).
Compliance Analysis:
- FLSA Violation Risk: HIGH. $45,000 salary is below the federal exempt threshold ($42,128).
- State Law Impact: Your state requires even higher salary thresholds. Review applicable rates.
- Liability Exposure: Unpaid overtime going back 3 years, plus penalties and interest.
- Immediate Action: Reclassify to non-exempt immediately, calculate back wages, consult employment counsel.
Example 3: Leave Request Decision
Situation: Employee requests 6 weeks unpaid leave for medical treatment.
Compliance Analysis:
- FMLA Eligibility: If employer has 50+ employees and employee has 12 months tenure, entitled to 12 weeks unpaid job-protected leave.
- ADA Considerations: Medical leave may be reasonable accommodation under ADA—analyze based on interactive process documentation.
- Documentation Needed: Eligibility certification, interactive process notes, undue hardship analysis if denying.
- Compliant Action Plan: Approve leave as FMLA, send required notices, maintain contact during absence.
