Scope and how this complements the Section Library

Chapters give the operational overview, synthesis, case law and Q&A. Code on Wages Chapters I-II locally embed the exact, Gazette-verified statutory text used across this repository. For the remaining chapters, use the linked domain Section Library for the exact locally-verified provision-by-provision text; the chapter guide is the map, the Section Library is the verified primary text.
