- Notice Regarding Maine Employer Surveillance Statute (legal boilerplate) – we should remove boilerplate? It's a notice about surveillance; it's legal/EEO? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to Maine employer surveillance. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a legal notice; likely remove. So we drop that paragraph.

But that's also requirement. Could combine. - Skills: maybe detail oriented, reliable, dependable, punctual, communication, etc. - Benefits: list. - Pay: pay range. - Schedule: schedule.
