## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Employment & Workplace Relations (incl. WHS)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List, by worker, the pay items, hours and rates in the payroll file. Leave a blank for whether § 207 or an exemption in § 213 applies. |
| What the lawyer must review | You fill the blank. Section 207 generally requires one and one-half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek, and it defines the regular rate and sets out exceptions. Section 213(a) states exemptions, including the executive, administrative and professional exemption, as defined by the Secretary's regulations, which you open. State law can require more. Check every total against the payroll file. This list is not a coverage opinion given to the other side. Model Rule 1.6 applies to the payroll file. |
