Jurisdiction-aware wage/hour and employment Q&A — classification, overtime, meal/rest breaks, leave, final pay — answered for the specific state/country with the controlling rule researched and cited rather than stated from memory. Use when the user asks any employment law question, or says "what's the rule in [state]", "is this exempt", "do we have to pay overtime for", or "can we classify this as".

请帮我安装 askskill 上的 "wage-hour-qa" 技能： 1. 下载 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/main/employment-legal/skills/wage-hour-qa/SKILL.md 2. 保存为 ~/.claude/skills/wage-hour-qa/SKILL.md 3. 装好后重载技能，告诉我可以用了
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint.Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is ✗ (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /employment-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.
"It depends" is true but unhelpful. This skill produces a jurisdiction-specific answer grounded in researched, cited primary sources — and flags when the question is close enough to need human judgment. It does not state rules from memory: wage-and-hour thresholds, exemption criteria, and final-pay timing change frequently and vary meaningfully by state.
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint. If the question doesn't specify a
jurisdiction, ask — or answer for the state with the most employees and note
that.
Which state/country is this about? If not stated:
Research before answering. For the jurisdiction and question, identify the currently operative rule. Cite the controlling primary source (statute, regulation, wage order, or case) with a pinpoint cite. Note the effective date and whether the rule has been recently amended, indexed, or is in litigation. If you are uncertain or cannot verify the current state of the law, say so and flag for attorney verification — do not state a rule you haven't confirmed.
State the rule in one paragraph, tied to the cite. Use your tools (web search, legal research integrations, team reference materials) to verify currency — especially for:
No silent supplement. If a research query to the configured legal research tool (Westlaw, CourtListener, or firm platform) returns few or no results for the jurisdiction-and-question, report what was found and stop. Do NOT fill the gap from web search or model knowledge without asking. Say: "The search returned [N] results from [tool]. Coverage appears thin for [jurisdiction / question]. Options: (1) broaden the search query, (2) try a different research tool, (3) search the web — results will be tagged
[web search — verify]and should be checked against a primary source before relying, or (4) flag the question as unverified and stop here. Which would you like?" A lawyer decides whether to accept lower-confidence sources.Source attribution. Tag every citation in the answer with where it came from:
[Westlaw],[CourtListener], or the MCP tool name for citations retrieved from a legal research connector;[web search — verify]for web-search citations;[model knowledge — verify]for citations recalled from training data;[user provided]for citations the user supplied. Citations taggedverifycarry higher fabrication risk and should be checked first. Never strip or collapse the tags.

Diff a proposed handbook change against the current version, flag ripple effects and state supplement impacts. Use when user says "update the handbook", "add this to the handbook", "handbook change", or has a policy ready for insertion.
Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants — jurisdiction check included. Substantive rules (covenant enforceability, pay-transparency, salary-history limits, exemption criteria) are researched per hire, not stored. Use when the user says "review this offer", "can we use a non-compete here", "check this offer letter", "hiring in [state]", or attaches an offer.
Draft an audience-specific summary from the privileged investigation memo — HR, leadership, or outside counsel versions. Use when an investigation memo needs to be communicated to an audience that should not see the full privileged work product.
Track the IP portfolio — registrations, renewals, maintenance fees, and use declarations. Use when checking what's renewing, adding or updating an asset, recording a maintenance filing, or auditing the register for gaps, lapses, and use-in-commerce questions. Receives handoffs from prosecution and clearance work.
IRAC-scaffolded case analysis memo with research gaps flagged — the scaffold, not the analysis. Rule blocks are RESEARCH NEEDED, Application is STUDENT ANALYSIS prompts, Conclusion is blank. Use when a student needs to scaffold a case analysis memo, write up their analysis, or build an IRAC memo for a case.
Read VDR documents and extract issues per house categories and materiality thresholds, producing findings in house memo format. Use when user says "review the data room", "extract issues from [folder]", "diligence review", "what's in the VDR", or points at VDR documents.
