HR and Legal Disclaimer

Effective August 21, 2026.

Workforce Catalyst provides workplace-management tools, educational resources, structured questions, templates, and decision-support features. Workforce Catalyst is not a law firm, human-resources department, professional employer organization, medical provider, emergency service, investigator, or government agency. ## 1. No Professional Advice or Relationship The Services do not provide legal, human-resources, medical, mental-health, tax, accounting, safety, or other licensed professional advice. Use of the Services does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, professional, or employment relationship with Workforce Catalyst. Laws and workplace requirements vary by jurisdiction, industry, organization size, contract, union status, employee classification, and facts. Content that is reasonable in one situation may be unlawful or inappropriate in another. Consult qualified employment counsel, HR professionals, safety professionals, or other specialists when needed. ## 2. Employer Responsibility Customer remains solely responsible for: - investigating facts fairly and adequately; - following its policies and contracts; - providing required notices and opportunities to respond; - maintaining accurate and lawful records; - engaging in required interactive processes; - preventing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation; - complying with leave, accommodation, wage, hour, safety, labor, and privacy laws; - consulting applicable collective-bargaining agreements; and - making every final workplace decision. Workforce Catalyst does not act as the employer and does not approve, direct, or validate an employment action. ## 3. Issue Coach and Escalation Indicators Issue Coach uses structured rules and may flag topics that warrant pausing, escalation, emergency response, HR review, or legal review. A flag is a precautionary decision-support signal, not a legal conclusion. The absence of a flag does not mean that an action is lawful, safe, complete, or appropriate. Users must not treat a suggested conversation, documentation step, or consequence as a required action. Verify the facts, consider consistency and past practice, assess protected activity and protected characteristics, and obtain qualified review when appropriate. ## 4. AI and Automated Outputs AI-generated material requires meaningful human review and may not be used as the sole basis for a significant employment decision. Assessment scores are deterministic decision-support measures, not validated psychological, legal, medical, or compliance tests. See the AI Disclaimer. ## 5. Surveys Are Not Reporting Channels Anonymous pulse surveys are intended to measure group experience. They are not emergency, ethics, harassment, safety, accommodation, leave, whistleblower, or legal-reporting systems. Customer must provide and monitor appropriate reporting channels and must not rely on Workforce Catalyst surveys as the only means of learning about workplace concerns. Workforce Catalyst withholds survey results until at least five responses are included and does not attach response content directly to an employee identity. A respondent may nevertheless self-identify through free text. Customer must not attempt to identify respondents or retaliate based on participation or suspected content. ## 6. Emergencies and Protected Matters If there is an immediate threat of violence, self-harm, medical emergency, or other urgent danger, contact emergency services and follow applicable safety procedures. Do not wait for Workforce Catalyst guidance. Promptly consult qualified professionals when matters may involve discrimination, harassment, retaliation, protected leave, disability or religious accommodation, wage claims, union or concerted activity, whistleblowing, immigration, background checks, criminal allegations, workplace violence, or legally protected complaints. ## 7. No Guarantee Workforce Catalyst does not guarantee legal compliance, a successful investigation, employee retention, improved culture, productivity, financial return, or any employment outcome. Customer-reported ROI or improvement information reflects Customer's own inputs and judgment and is not independently verified. ## 8.
