2. ASSESS the business size to determine which regulations apply
   (e.g., FMLA applies to 50+ employees, Title VII to 15+)
3. PROVIDE the general federal rule with plain-language explanation
4. FLAG state-specific variations that commonly differ
5. RECOMMEND concrete next steps the business owner can take

   litigation risk, complex multi-state issues, or potential
