This self-check is for planning, not legal advice. It is a plain-language look at common HR gaps, not a legal review of your company. Rules change and depend on your headcount, your industry and the states where your people work. For a specific situation, talk to an employment attorney.

Want the full gap report?

We will email you a link to your written report on all 18 answers: what each gap means and what to fix first. You also get our one-page Utah headcount cheat sheet, the laws that switch on at 15, 20, 50, 100 and 150 employees.

How many employees do you have?

State(s) where you have employees (optional)

Utah and federal rules as of October 2026. Reviewed once a year.

What do EEO, FMLA, COBRA and I-9 mean?

EEO (equal employment opportunity): The federal rules that bar job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 and over), disability or genetic information. Most apply once you have 15 employees, and the age rules from 20.
FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act): A federal law that gives eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave a year for certain family and medical reasons. It applies to employers with 50 or more employees.
COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act): A federal law that lets employees and their families keep the company’s group health coverage for a limited time after leaving a job or another qualifying event, usually paying the full premium plus a small fee. It applies to employers with 20 or more employees that offer a group health plan. Many states, including Utah, have their own version (often called mini-COBRA) for smaller employers with insured plans.
I-9 (Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification): The federal form every US employer completes for each new hire to confirm the person’s identity and that they are allowed to work in the United States. The employee fills in Section 1 by their first day of work, and you complete Section 2 within 3 business days of that start date.
