πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A secure digital document vault service specifically for employees to store signed contracts independently of employer systems.
  2. A legal template generator that helps employees draft formal letters to request personnel file access under labor transparency laws.
  3. A community-sourced database of regional labor rights that explains the legal implications of 'lost' contracts and how to demand proof of terms.
