Who this is built for

Solo businesses adding employees and small employers reviewing employment-practices risk.

How to use it

  1. Use this as a risk-and-insurance review, not as a substitute for employment-law advice or required HR documents.
  2. Check federal, state, and local obligations separately; headcount thresholds and protected categories can differ.
  3. Give the insurer accurate information about workforce, prior complaints, policies, and training rather than answering from planned controls.

What this template cannot prove

A worksheet or email template cannot create insurance coverage, establish legal worker status, modify an insurance policy, or guarantee that a contract requirement has been satisfied. When a field depends on coverage, confirm the policy or endorsement. When it depends on state law, use the responsible state authority.
