The idea
“Every US staffing agency is legally required to send a 'spread of hours' notice to temporary workers in New York, a wage theft notice in California, a pay transparency disclosure in Colorado, and similar documents in 14 other states — each with different timing requirements, different formats, and different delivery methods (some require physical signature, some accept email, some require text confirmation). Non-compliance fines range from $500–$10,000 per worker per violation. Mid-size staffing agencies (50–500 temporary workers placed per month) currently handle this with a paralegal or HR coordinator manually checking a state compliance spreadsheet someone built in 2019. When a new state law passes — Illinois added one in January 2025 — nobody updates the spreadsheet for months. We generate and deliver the correct compliance document to each worker at the moment of placement, automatically, based on the work location. The agency uploads a placement record. We send the right document to the right worker via the right channel for that state, log the delivery confirmation, and store it for the 3-year audit window the DOL requires. The product IS the compliance artifact. There's nothing to interpret or act on — the document either got delivered and logged, or it didn't. The agency's legal exposure is binary. Pricing: $8 per worker placement. Not a subscription. Agencies pay per transaction, which maps directly to their revenue. A 200-placement/month agency pays $1,600/month and eliminates a $50,000 fine exposure. The DOL has increased staffing industry audits 34% since 2023. The incumbent here is a paralegal who doesn't know about the Illinois amendment. We're not competing with software. We're replacing a manual process that is actively generating liability right now.”
