Check federal compliance in VS Code

Enterprise engineering teams building payroll systems need to validate mass layoff events against federal law. You can prompt your agent to run `check_warn_compliance` using your current test payload. Copilot evaluates the 60-day notice requirement and returns the exact violation status to your chat panel. You avoid hardcoding outdated legal thresholds into your enterprise application.

Calculate back pay totals

When notice periods fall short, companies owe specific wages to affected workers. Your AI client can trigger `calculate_employee_backpay_liability` to compute the exact financial damage based on daily pay rates. The editor pulls the resulting liability figure from the MCP and helps you write the correct database assertions for your test suite. Your entire team gets consistent statutory math without leaving their IDE.

Access penalty estimates via this MCP

Local municipalities issue fines for every day a company misses the notice window. By executing `calculate_civil_penalty_exposure`, you can pull those exact penalty structures into your risk management software. The tool returns the maximum financial exposure for the specified layoff event. You use that live data to build accurate reporting dashboards for your compliance officers.
