What you'll accomplish
This guide walks you through using Claude to triage a backlog of job descriptions for FLSA misclassification risk, flagging the ones that need detailed legal review and clearing the ones that look fine. A project that would take 60+ hours of manual review becomes a 4-hour triage, with attorney review focused where it's actually needed.
What you'll need
- Claude Pro subscription ({{tool:Claude.price}}/month) for handling multiple documents
- Your job descriptions in a Word doc or PDF (all or by department)
- Basic understanding of the FLSA exemption criteria (executive, administrative, professional, computer, and highly compensated employee exemptions)
- Time needed: 30–60 minutes per batch of 20–30 job descriptions
- Cost: {{tool:Claude.price}}/month
How-To Guide: Batch Review Job Descriptions for FLSA Risk
Step 1: Understand what you're looking for
FLSA misclassification risk typically shows up as one of these patterns:
- Exempt JDs with non-exempt duties: A classified-exempt role where the job description lists primarily routine or manual tasks with little discretion (e.g., "processes invoices," "answers incoming calls" in an "exempt" admin role)
- Non-exempt JDs with supervisory language: A classified-non-exempt role where the JD says "manages projects" or "directs work of team," which are potential indicators of misclassification the other way.
- Vague primary duty language: "Assists with" or "supports." These roles are neither clearly exempt nor non-exempt and need human judgment.
