Employee-count thresholds that trigger US federal employment laws. Each record is one law at one threshold, stating the trigger point, what the law requires, and how employees are counted for that statute.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Licence position

Facts extracted from vendor blog posts; thresholds are statutory and not copyrightable
