The US employment law test is an intermediate, 10-minute check for HR managers, HR business partners, employee relations and pay and benefits specialists, inclusion leads, and operations or people managers. Its 15 multiple-choice questions use workplace scenarios to measure how candidates apply US federal law to hiring, complaints, pay, hours, leave and remote work.

Question formats
Multiple choice
The candidate: Reads a short situation, table or statement and picks the right answer, or every right answer.
You see: Whether the candidate knows the material well enough to apply it, not just recognize it.
15 questions in 10 minutes, served one at a time.
Roles this test fits
HR managers and generalists, HR business partners, employee relations and pay and benefits specialists, inclusion leads, and operations or people managers who make hiring, pay and leave decisions.
What this test can show
Applying rules to situations
Brief workplace scenarios ask candidates to choose a step that keeps the employer within federal law, not just recall a rule.
Reasoning with given facts
Questions provide needed details, such as employer size or hours worked, so candidates can focus on applying the facts.
Working through pay details
Some questions use a small table and round-number pay arithmetic. Scratch paper is allowed, and no calculator is needed for that arithmetic.
What you get for each candidate
- Stayed on the test tab throughout
- No pasted answers
- Answered at a steady pace
Scores, profiles and integrity signals are evidence for you to review alongside an interview, never an automatic decision.
Test integrity signals
Each candidate receives a different set from large question pools. Questions appear one at a time, in a different order, with shuffled answer options. Candidates cannot go back to an earlier question. The 10-minute timer runs on the server; reloading restores the same question with only the time left. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. HireValid records signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers and answers faster than a question can be read. The employer can review an Integrity Score and evidence timeline; neither makes a decision on its own. With candidate consent, an employer can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as one piece of evidence
Review the score alongside a job-relevant work sample and a structured interview, never on its own. For example, discuss how the candidate would handle a workplace situation involving pay or a complaint, then compare their reasoning with their sub-skill scores. Consider the related HR Management and Business Ethics and Compliance tests when choosing other areas to assess.

Understand scoring and benchmarks
Fairness and accommodations
Questions cover federal rules only, so no candidate is tested on one state's law, and every fact a question needs, such as employer size or hours worked, is given in it. Scenarios use names from many backgrounds, vary the traits and situations involved without stereotypes, describe misconduct and health conditions in neutral words, and keep the reading level of a workplace memo. Scratch paper is allowed, and any pay arithmetic uses round numbers so no calculator is needed.
You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.
Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it. Questions are reviewed when federal rules change.
