Compliance: Check Your Store Against Your State's RulesBeta

Compliance checks your store against the rules where it is: pay and overtime, breaks and sick leave, tips, food safety, licenses and sales tax. It's on for every store. It's guidance, not legal advice, and our team approves each rule change before it reaches you.

Where to find it

Sidebar › COMPLIANCE, starting at Overview.

1. Check the state at the top of Overview. It comes from your store's address.
2. Wrong or missing? Choose change and fix the address in Store Settings › Location.
3. Read Needs a look. Each item says why, and its button opens the setting to fix.
4. Open an area, such as Pay or Tips, to see each rule, your setting and its Source link.
5. Choose Check now after a change, or Ask the AI manager to explain a rule.

Good to know

• With the time clock on, payroll pays your state's overtime on its own and starts from the state minimum wage. Anything else that changes pay, like a city minimum wage, is a suggestion you turn on.
• The breaks question at clock-out is on by default in California. Elsewhere, choose Turn on the breaks question at clock-out if you want it.
• A rule marked Verify has a less certain source or is due for a re-check. Confirm it with the source or your payroll provider.
• Compliance never stops a clock-in, an order or a payroll file. Settings only refuse overtime or a minimum wage below your state's law.

If something's not working

• It shows Federal law only? Add the state to your store's address in Store Settings › Location.
• Pay says Set up to check? Turn on Time Clock in Store Settings › Services.
