Each of the 10 points is one YES/NO question. Answer honestly — your score stays private. Nobody sees it but you.
Point 01 — Handbook Compliance
At-Will Employment Protection
Is your handbook language actually protecting you in court — or setting you up for a wrongful termination claim?
Point 02 — Handbook Compliance
Sexual Harassment Compliance
Are you meeting NY's mandatory annual training and policy requirements — with signed documentation for every employee?
Point 03 — Handbook Compliance
Required NY Handbook Policies
Is your handbook missing NY-specific policies that eliminate your legal defenses the moment you need them?
Point 04 — Wage & Hour
Wage Payment Notice (WTPA)
Could a single missing form cost you $5,000 per employee — applied retroactively to every hire you've ever made?

Are your 1099 contractors actually 1099s under NY's strict Construction Industry Fair Play Act — or are you sitting on a class-action?
Point 06 — Wage & Hour
Overtime & Exemption Rules
Is your $55K "exempt" foreman actually entitled to 3 years of back overtime at time-and-a-half?
Point 07 — Leave Laws
NY Paid Family Leave
Are you withholding the correct PFL premium and have your managers been trained to avoid instant retaliation claims?
Point 08 — Leave Laws
NY Paid Sick Leave
Does your policy meet the updated NY requirements — and have managers been trained never to discipline an employee for using it?
Point 09 — Hiring & Onboarding
I-9 Employment Verification
Would your I-9 files survive an ICE audit tomorrow — for every current AND former employee going back years?
Point 10 — Hiring & Onboarding
