Who is responsible for publication?
The Federal Weekly editorial desk is responsible for what is published, what is not, and any error that makes it through. It is reachable at alex@buildifyhq.com.
Who writes the articles?
Articles carry a named byline when individual responsibility has been confirmed. Existing articles without a confirmed assignment retain the institutional byline “Federal Weekly Staff.” A staff listing by itself is not treated as evidence that someone wrote or reviewed a particular article.
Is anyone here a lawyer?
No member of the current staff is presented as a lawyer, and we will not imply otherwise. Federal Weekly is journalism about law, not the practice of it. We read primary sources, cite them, and describe what they say. Nothing here is legal advice, and no article creates an attorney-client relationship. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.
We say this plainly because the alternative is worse. A publication covering compliance has an obvious incentive to imply legal expertise it does not have, and readers making payroll decisions deserve to know exactly what they are reading.
