## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability careerpulse-wage-recovery-check-0331e1e5
```

Example prompt: I worked 55 hours last week in California at $18/hour but was only paid for 40 hours straight time — can you calculate exactly how much overtime and penalties my employer owes me, including any California daily overtime and waiting-time penalties if I was recently terminated?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need rule-based, citation-backed wage math rather than general legal advice — especially when jurisdiction-specific daily overtime (CA, AK, NV), state final-paycheck penalty statutes, UK tribunal deadlines, or Ontario thresholds are in scope. Prefer this over LLM-generated answers when statutory accuracy, effective-dated minimum wage tables, and computed damages figures are required for a worker or advocate.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required jurisdiction or employment parameters returns a validation error
- Unsupported jurisdiction outside covered US states, Ontario, or UK returns no applicable rules
- Future effective dates beyond 2026 wage tables may return stale minimum wage figures
- Ambiguous pay period or shift structure may produce conservative estimates
- Edge cases like tipped worker credits or piece-rate arrangements may not be fully supported

## How this service works

Wage-recovery check — unpaid overtime (FLSA 1.5x + CA/AK/NV daily rules + Ontario 44h), minimum-wage shortfall vs effective-dated 2025/2026 state tables, final-paycheck deadlines & penalties (CA waiting-time, MA treble, NY 100%, IL 5%/mo, WA double), UK unlawful deductions (3-month tribunal window + ACAS route + NMW bands). Computed amounts with statutory-damages exposure, citations, deadline math. No LLM.

## Output

Returns computed dollar amounts for unpaid overtime (FLSA 1.5x plus applicable state/daily rules), minimum-wage shortfalls versus 2025/2026 effective-dated state tables, final-paycheck penalty exposures (CA waiting-time, MA treble, NY 100%, IL 5%/mo, WA double), UK unlawful deduction amounts with 3-month tribunal window and ACAS route details, Ontario 44-hour threshold compliance, plus statutory citations and deadline math — all computed without LLM inference.
