What it does
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.

- Load
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md→ jurisdictional footprint, hiring review triggers, restrictive covenant policy. - Use the workflow below.
- Check: jurisdiction, classification, restrictive covenants, background check compliance.
- Flag anything that hits the jurisdiction-specific escalation table.
Matter context
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.
Purpose
Offer letters are mostly boilerplate until they're not. The jurisdiction check and the restrictive-covenant check are where this skill earns its keep. The skill does not state the law, every jurisdiction-specific rule is researched and cited at the time of review.
Load context
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → jurisdictional footprint, hiring review triggers, restrictive
covenant policy, offer letter template location.
Output header
Prepend the work-product header from ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md → ## Outputs (it differs by user role, see ## Who's using this).
Workflow
Step 1: Jurisdiction
Where will this person work? Not where HQ is, where they are.
