PreHireBadge fail-closes a 1-4 employee band for a New York City location instead of treating that band as proof you are exempt.
PreHireBadge Academy courses are free and educational. Completing a course or earning a certificate is not legal advice, not a professional license, and not a legal credential. Laws change. Read the cited sources and ask a qualified attorney about your own hiring decision.
