Included from the Micro level.
Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.
The businesses it reaches
The Töölepingu seadus governs the employment relationship between an employer and an employee in Estonia, and the toolkit addresses employers of every size, from a small enterprise hiring its first employee to a larger organisation managing many contracts. It also reaches the payroll, working time and leave duties that fall on those employers, and the consultation duties owed to employees and their representatives.
The 20 working files organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions that the enterprise answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty. The files cover the terms notified to an employee, the limits on fixed term contracts, the employee's duty of care, business travel, notification duties, the manner and payment of wages, working and rest time, the arrangement of working time, wages, holiday, occupational safety duties, evidence duties, the granting of free time, and consultation.
The sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the enterprise keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Questions and answers
Which businesses does the Töölepingu seadus concern?
It concerns employers in Estonia, whatever their size or sector, and the employees they engage under an employment contract. The duties it sets cover the terms of the contract, wages, working and rest time, holiday, occupational safety and consultation with employees.
What does the toolkit contain?
It is a set of 20 working files that organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions the enterprise answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty.
How are the sections delivered?
The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed, and the enterprise works through the questions within that environment.
What do I receive at the end?
The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the enterprise keeps in its own file. Each report records the answers given against the duties the instrument sets.
Does the toolkit tell me what to do?
No. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective. It carries what the authority wrote, organised, and leaves the conclusions to the enterprise.
Which employment terms does the toolkit cover?
It covers the terms that must be notified to an employee, the prohibition on concluding an employment contract in certain cases, and the limits that apply to fixed term contracts. The employee's duty of care and the rules on business travel are also addressed.
Does it cover wages and working time?
Yes. The files address the manner of paying wages, the payment of wages itself, working and rest time, and the arrangement of working time. Holiday and the granting of free time are covered as well.
What does it say about safety and evidence duties?
The files set out the occupational safety obligations and the duties of notification and proof that fall on the parties. They also cover the duty to grant free time and the consultation duties owed to employees and their representatives.
Is the statutory text included?
Yes. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty, so the enterprise reads the provision as the authority wrote it. The questions around it are answered from the enterprise's own records.
Who is the toolkit for?
It is for an enterprise that employs or intends to employ people in Estonia and must meet the duties of the Töölepingu seadus. The questions are answered from the enterprise's own documents, and the resulting reports stay in its file.
