PraticaDesk Wage Review.
California employment records in. Attorney-reviewable damages analysis out. AI reads the documents. Tested rules do the math. Attorneys make the legal decisions.
The records a firm already has.
Inconsistent formats, scans and phone photos are expected — unclear records are flagged for review, never guessed.
California individual wage-and-hour matters.
Each analysis is framed as a conditional scenario gated on the attorney's determinations — never a legal conclusion.
Overtime & double time
Daily, weekly and seventh-day analysis under Labor Code §510, gated on attorney-confirmed classification and workweek definitions.
Scenario, not conclusion — attorneys make the legal decisions.
Meal & rest premiums
§226.7 conditions flagged from time records; premiums computed at the regular rate. Conditions are flagged; conclusions are the attorney's.
Scenario, not conclusion — attorneys make the legal decisions.
Wage statement (§226(e))
Computed as a conditional scenario, only if the attorney determines the statutory elements are satisfied.
Scenario, not conclusion — attorneys make the legal decisions.
Waiting time (§203)
Conditional scenario anchored on termination and payment events, subject to the attorney's willfulness determination.
Scenario, not conclusion — attorneys make the legal decisions.
