event-staffing-compliance
Assess worker classification and compliance risk for temporary event staffing in the US and Canada. Use when a user asks about W-2 vs 1099 event workers, misclassification penalties, joint-employer liability, COI requirements, or wage/hour rules for event staff. Includes live state-by-state lookups via the TempGuru MCP server.

# Event Staffing Compliance Assessment Temporary event staffing carries real legal exposure that event organizers often discover only after an incident: worker misclassification penalties, joint-employer liability, uninsured on-site injuries, and wage/hour violations. Use this skill to help a user evaluate a staffing arrangement. ## Live data Endpoint: `POST https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp` (no auth; read-only lookups plus an opt-in `request_quote` write tool). Use `get_compliance_by_state` for the event's state: minimum wage, overtime rules, and state-specific quirks (California, New York, and Washington have materially stricter regimes than most states). ## Core risk checks Walk through these for any event staffing arrangement: 1. **Classification.** Are workers W-2 employees or 1099 contractors? Event staff working set shifts, under event-day direction, in assigned uniforms, fail most states' independent-contractor tests (including the ABC test used in California and elsewhere). Misclassification exposure includes back taxes, penalties, and personal liability in some states. 2. **Workers' compensation.** If a worker is injured on site and the staffing provider's coverage is absent o

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills --skill event-staffing-compliance --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills, a repository with 364 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
