Your documents stay local
Employment contracts contain compensation structures, equity terms, and individual employee data. With Legalcode, these documents stay on your machine. Your agent queries labour law requirements from the primary source database — your confidential employment terms are never uploaded to a third-party service. Review alongside your local HR policies and benefits documentation.
- Documents never leave your machine — no uploads to third-party services
- Zero data retention on search content — queries are not logged or stored
- Combine Legalcode with your local files, tools, and workflows in one environment
- Works inside your existing AI agent — Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client
How it works
- 1
Open the employment contract locally
Point your AI agent to the employment contract on your device. Compensation details, equity terms, and personal data stay on your machine — the agent queries only the mandatory labour law requirements for the specified jurisdiction.
- 2
Mandatory compliance review
The skill checks the contract against mandatory statutory requirements in the specified jurisdiction — minimum notice, statutory sick pay, working time limits, anti-discrimination provisions, and mandatory benefit entitlements.
- 3
Restricted provisions assessed
Post-termination restrictions (non-competes, non-solicitation, garden leave) are assessed for enforceability under the governing jurisdiction's law, including recent case law on reasonableness.
- 4
Issues and recommendations produced
A report identifies non-compliant provisions, provisions that are unenforceable under local law, missing mandatory clauses, and recommended amendments.
What it produces
- Mandatory compliance check against jurisdiction labour law
- Non-compliant and unenforceable clause list with reasoning
- Missing mandatory clause checklist
- Non-compete and restriction enforceability analysis
- Cross-border employment risk flags
- Recommended redlines for non-compliant provisions

FAQ
- Employee contracts contain sensitive compensation data. Is that safe?
- Your employment contracts stay entirely on your local device. The AI agent works with the document locally and queries Legalcode only for the mandatory labour law requirements. Compensation figures, equity terms, and employee personal data are never transmitted to or stored by Legalcode.
- Does the skill cover US at-will employment states and exceptions?
- Yes. For US employment contracts, the skill applies the law of the specified state, including the employment-at-will default and the statutory and common law exceptions that apply in that state (implied contracts, public policy exceptions, covenant of good faith).
- Can the skill handle employment contracts for senior executives with complex terms?
- The skill handles executive employment agreements including equity vesting provisions, bonus structures, change-of-control clauses, and executive non-compete packages. It flags jurisdiction-specific enforceability issues for each.
- Can I review alongside my HR policies and benefits docs?
- Yes. Because Legalcode works inside your local AI agent, you can review the employment contract alongside your HR policies, benefits documentation, equity plan documents, and any other local files — all in one session without uploading anything.
