Legal Framework

Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2026. By using the OvertimeIQ service, calculators, and educational content, you agree to these fundamental terms and legal disclaimers.

1. Informational Purpose Only (No Legal Advice)

The calculators, tools, guides, and FAQ responses provided by OvertimeIQ are intended strictly for educational and informational purposes. While our algorithms are modeled strictly against federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations and international equivalents, they do not constitute formal legal, accounting, financial, or tax advice.

Disclaimer of Liability: You agree that OvertimeIQ, its developers, and its parent entities shall not be held liable for any damages, lost wages, litigation outcomes, or payroll penalties resulting from reliance on the mathematical outputs generated by our software. Always consult a licensed Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or employment lawyer for your specific situation.

2. Usage Restrictions & Intellectual Property

The proprietary algorithms, visual designs, database structures, and written content comprising OvertimeIQ are protected by global intellectual property laws.

You may use the tool for personal paycheck auditing and internal corporate payroll estimates.
You may not automatically scrape, reverse-engineer, or commercially resell the calculation engine's outputs without explicit written API licensing.

3. Accuracy & Jurisdiction Shifts

Labor laws—such as daily overtime thresholds, mandated rest breaks, and salary exemption limits—change frequently at the state, provincial, and federal levels. While we pledge to update our databases promptly to reflect the current calendar year (2026), we make no absolute warranties that the provided datasets instantly reflect the most recent legislative amendments in your specific micro-jurisdiction.
