Build, save and export this legal workflow
This workspace turns the minimum-wage and sector-floor check result into a reusable matter note, dashboard item and gated PDF checklist. Use the app first, then save the evidence trail.

What stronger tools teach this app
Benchmarked against Deel, Oyster and global HR compliance platforms. The goal is not to copy them; it is to bring the useful workflow pattern into an Africa-first tool with official-source caution and local evidence capture.
Observed feature pattern
- Employment compliance platforms start with worker classification and country-specific minimums before generating contracts or HR records.
- They manage contracts, invoices, leave, payroll inputs and compliance reminders in one dashboard.
- The best flows keep misclassification and statutory-minimum risks visible instead of burying them in generic template language.
Implemented on this app
- This page now asks for matter, country or regime, date, status, evidence and risk flags before the user exports a note.
- The app-specific checklist is not generic: it starts with "Verify the country and sector source before using a rate in payroll".
- Saved workflows can be resumed from the dashboard and handed off to Employment Contract Builder when the matter naturally continues.
- The PDF/export moment is a value-after-result gate, so users can still use the tool first and only share email when saving the report.
Best next move
- Whether the worker falls under a national, sector, regional or collective-agreement rate
- Verify the country and sector source before using a rate in payroll
- Using one national wage for sectors with separate orders
Minimum-wage and sector-floor check
Minimum wage is a legal floor, not a hiring budget. The useful output flags national, sector, region and occupation differences before payroll or employment contracts are issued.
Decisions this clarifies
- Whether the worker falls under a national, sector, regional or collective-agreement rate
- Whether housing, transport, food, commission or in-kind benefits can count toward the wage floor
- How wage changes affect overtime, pension, social security and dismissal exposure
Before you rely on it
- Verify the country and sector source before using a rate in payroll
- Document work hours, overtime basis and pay period alongside the wage
- Review wage floors whenever the government gazettes a change or the worker changes role
Red flags
- Using one national wage for sectors with separate orders
- Treating allowances as wage without checking the law
- Forgetting overtime, leave pay and social security when the base wage changes
Save the minimum-wage and sector-floor check trail
Before filing, signing, publishing, or sending anything, keep a short record that links the app result to evidence and official-source checks.
Capture
Save the country or regime, parties, dates, amounts, selected options, and final output. Add why this matters: Whether the worker falls under a national, sector, regional or collective-agreement rate.
Attach
Verify the country and sector source before using a rate in payroll. Also keep the strongest supporting document, receipt, portal reference, ID, contract, policy, or court file beside the generated result.
Escalate
If you see this risk, pause and get qualified help: Using one national wage for sectors with separate orders.
