Recordability, worked through on real incidents

Every verdict on these pages is computed by the same engine that powers the free check — at build time, from the facts written into each scenario. Nothing is hand-written, so a scenario cannot quietly disagree with the product.

The verdict is generated, not written

Job13's explanation — not regulation text

Each scenario is defined in code as a set of facts — work environment, new case, criteria met, treatments given, specific case type. Building this site runs those facts through determineRecordability, the same function behind the free check and the API, and renders whatever comes back.

That is a deliberate constraint rather than a convenience. A reference page that asserted its own answers would drift from the product the first time a provision changed. Here it cannot: amend the regulation corpus and every published scenario is re-decided, with its citations, on the next build.

Where the facts genuinely do not settle the question, the engine returns needs review and names what is missing. We publish that outcome as readily as the clean ones — it is usually the honest answer to the questions people actually ask.

Not legal advice. This page republishes 29 CFR Part 1904 as published by the eCFR and explains it. The recordkeeping duty is the employer’s. Where the rule requires judgement, Job13 says so rather than guessing — run your own case through the free check.
