Instantly Flag Potential Violations

Determine if a planned or past layoff triggers the WARN Act. Feed Cascade a layoff event's details, like the number of employees, timeline, and location. It will use the `check_warn_compliance` tool to give you a straight yes or no. This isn't a vague legal opinion. It's a binary check against the statute's numerical thresholds. Windsurf gets the facts, runs the check, and shows you the result without you needing to prompt every step.

Calculate Your Total Financial Exposure

If you have a violation, the next question is always 'How much will this cost?'. Cascade can calculate the full financial damage automatically. It chains together the `calculate_employee_backpay_liability` and `calculate_civil_penalty_exposure` tools to get the two numbers that matter. You get a single report showing the total back pay owed to employees and the maximum civil penalty you could face from the government. No spreadsheets, no manual math, just the final dollar amount of your liability.

Run a Full Audit with this MCP Server

This is where Windsurf's Cascade agent shines. You don't need to run tools one by one. Just tell Cascade your goal: 'Audit the Q3 RIF for WARN Act liability'. It will read the context, plan the sequence of compliance checks and financial calculations, execute them, and present a final summary. It's a full compliance audit, done autonomously.

Common questions about US WARN Act Compliance Calculator MCP in Windsurf

Connect the MCP to Windsurf. Then, from your editor, you can give Cascade a goal like 'check our layoff plan for compliance'. Cascade will use the calculator's tools to analyze the data and give you a direct answer on liability.

Yes. That's its main advantage. Define a layoff event and tell Windsurf's Cascade agent to assess the liability. It will autonomously run the necessary checks and calculations from the US WARN Act Compliance Calculator.

The best way is to let Cascade do the work. Instead of calling individual tools, give it a high-level task like 'Calculate total exposure for the factory closure'. It will figure out the steps.

No. This tool provides financial calculations and compliance checks based on the data you provide. It's for estimating liability, not for legal counsel. Always consult a qualified attorney.

The calculator processes non-PII layoff data: employee counts, layoff dates, and worksite locations. All data is processed in memory during the calculation and is not stored or logged by the MCP. Your connection is secured via Windsurf's standard protocols.
