Why we ask this

🟤 Ethnicity & Race
Popover Text:

We ask this to help identify patterns of mistreatment or inequity that may disproportionately affect certain racial or ethnic groups. Your data helps us surface discrimination trends and improve systemic accountability.

🟠 Gender Identity
Popover Text:

Understanding how different gender identities experience workplace conditions allows us to provide more accurate legal tagging and advocacy. You can skip this question or self-describe as needed.

🟣 Sexual Orientation
Popover Text:

Some workplace discrimination is rooted in sexual orientation. We ask this to track possible violations of federal, state, or local protections under LGBTQ+ worker rights laws. This is optional.

🔵 Geographic Location (City, State)
Popover Text:

Your location helps us cite the correct labor laws in your CaseLog, as laws differ by state and city. We never display this publicly or sell geographic data.

🟢 Employment Type
Popover Text:

Knowing your employment type (W-2, 1099, etc.) allows us to determine which labor protections apply to your role. This impacts how we flag wage violations, overtime issues, and benefits eligibility.

🟡 Wage & Hour Classification (DOL Status)

Popover Text:
This helps us determine if you’re entitled to overtime pay, rest breaks, and other protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state law. Not sure? Just select “Not sure.”

🟠 Time in Workforce
Popover Text:

We collect this to analyze how experience level affects vulnerability to mistreatment, burnout, or retaliation. It also helps us tailor support tools for newer vs. veteran workers.

🔴 Industry
Popover Text:

Each industry has unique labor laws and risk profiles. This field helps us cite relevant codes and generate targeted suggestions (e.g., OSHA laws in healthcare or wage theft in retail).
