## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability legalpulse-employment-law-api-29577ca4
```

Example prompt: I was laid off last week and I think it might be retaliation for filing an HR complaint about discrimination — can you look up my wrongful termination rights and what steps I should take to file a claim?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user needs employment law information — particularly around wrongful termination, wage theft, workplace discrimination, non-compete clauses, or FMLA/ADA rights — as part of an automated legal research or rights-advisory workflow. Prefer over generic LLM responses when you need structured, research-backed legal guidance with statutory references.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unsupported query topic returns incomplete guidance
- State-specific questions may lack coverage if jurisdiction is not recognized
- Payment not included or invalid returns 402 error and no content
- Highly fact-specific edge cases may receive general rather than tailored guidance
- Network timeout results in no response

## How this service works

## Output

A structured legal guidance response covering relevant employment law principles, applicable federal and state statutes, worker rights, enforcement options, filing procedures, and key deadlines relevant to the queried situation (e.g., wrongful termination, wage theft, FMLA/ADA rights, or non-compete enforceability)
