Clause check
Paste a single clause — a confidentiality paragraph, a non-compete, a release, a final-pay line — and see what it is in tension with and which rule it rests on. No file leaves your machine; the text you paste is the only thing analyzed, and it is deleted within 24 hours.
How it works. Clause check runs on the free scan's paste mode. Click below, paste the clause, and the result shows the exact passage each finding points at, its category (required, recommended or optional for the jurisdiction), and the citation. Name the state in the clause or your note if you want state rules applied.

Not legal advice. DefensibleHR.ai is an AI-powered document scanner, not a law firm. Each item states what a published authority requires and cites it; whether and how it applies to your situation is a question for a qualified employment attorney. Every item shows its rule's last-reviewed date.
