# About State Pay Rules .com

The independent programmatic compliance engine providing workers, HR leaders, and legal analysts with verified, transparent statutory wage and overtime data.

## Our Public Mission

Over **$3 billion in employee back pay** goes unclaimed every year in the United States due to complex, overlapping state and federal labor regulations. Most workers lack access to rapid, accurate tools to audit their paystubs against state law, while small business employers struggle to track shifting multi-state wage orders.

StatePayRules.com was built to solve this information asymmetry. We maintain a zero-friction, 100% free public database and instant calculation engine covering all 50 US states and the District of Columbia.

## Our 4-Step Statutory Verification Protocol

Because labor compliance falls under Google YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) standards, we adhere to strict verification safeguards:

### Official .Gov Legislative Bulletins

We source statutory minimum wages, tipped credit caps, daily overtime thresholds, and meal period violation penalties directly from primary state Dept. of Labor publications and federal FLSA regulations (29 CFR Part 541).

### State-Specific Math Engines

Our rules engine implements state-specific logic (e.g. California 8-hour daily OT + 12-hour double time, Colorado 12-hour daily OT, Nevada tiered minimum wage rules, and FLSA § 7(i) retail exemptions).

### Continuous Code Verification

State labor departments frequently issue mid-year cost-of-living inflation adjustments. Our automated test suite audits legislative updates weekly to maintain 100% statutory currency.

### 100% Private Browser Audits

Shift workers auditing paystubs deserve total privacy. All calculator math executes client-side inside your web browser. We never store, track, transmit, or share your paystub figures.

## Editorial Integrity & Monetization Disclosure

StatePayRules.com is a 100% free public compliance utility. To cover continuous server infrastructure and legal database maintenance costs, our site may display sponsored advertisements or referral links to vetted labor law practice groups and enterprise HR software providers.

**Our Guarantee:** Commercial relationships never influence our calculation algorithms, statutory minimum wage numbers, or legal citation data. Statutory compliance accuracy remains 100% independent.

## Expert Editorial Review & Compliance Governance

All statutory calculation logic, overtime rate formulas, and legislative guides published on StatePayRules.com undergo rigorous technical and statutory review led by **J. R. Miller, CPP** (Certified Payroll Professional credentialed through PayrollOrg / American Payroll Association), alongside our dedicated statutory research desk.

## Publishing Entity & Institutional Ownership

StatePayRules.com is an independent digital compliance property operated by **State Pay Rules Publishing Operations**, a vertical digital publishing asset of **Sovereign Venture Studio**.
