The Compliance Assistant is a rules engine built into Nory. It applies the correct workforce rules to each location automatically based on its jurisdiction where relevant, so you do not have to research or configure them yourself.
As you build a schedule, Nory checks it against these rules and flags issues before you publish.
For US locations, your compliance assistant covers rules such as:
Maximum number of worked hours per week/day
Rest and meal breaks
Days of rest and minimum time between shifts.
Minimum wage, which varies by state and cities.
How rules are applied to each location
When a location is set up, the Assistant applies the rules based on its jurisdiction automatically.
You can review which rules are active for any location and see why they apply, then adjust them to fit your business.
To do this, go to your compliance settings at brand level.
Compliance settings location-level overrides
Rules start from the defaults for the jurisdiction. Where a single location needs something different, you can override a specific rule for that location without changing the defaults everywhere else.
Hard rules, soft rules, and schedule implications
Soft rule: shows a warning when a schedule breaks it, but users can still submit the schedule for approval or publish the schedule (based on their access level).
Hard rule: blocks publishing or approval until the issue is resolved.
