I was working on a project recently that had a good amount of business logic associated with status codes.   To better understand the flow of logic in the domain layer, I created an enum representation of the statuses and overloaded the equality operator in the status domain model to check against the enum.  

Is this good practice, or does this an unnecessary abstraction?  Also seeing if I should implement the GetHashCode() and Equal() methods or perhaps just make them just return

    () => throw new InvalidOperationException();


***Implementation***

    public class StatusDm
    {

        public StatusDm() { }
        public StatusDm(Models.Database.Status status)
        {
            Id = status.Id;
            Name = status.Name;
        }
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }


        public void DatabaseTransfer(ref Models.Database.Status status)
        {
            status.Name = Name;
        }
        public static bool operator ==(StatusDm domainStatus, Models.Constants.StatusEnum status)
        {
            return domainStatus?.Id == (int)status;
        }

        public static bool operator !=(StatusDm domainStatus, Models.Constants.StatusEnum status)
        {
            return !(domainStatus?.Id == (int)status);
        }
    }

***Usage***

    if(individual.StatusModel == StatusEnum.Submitted || individual.StatusModel == StatusEnum.Disqualified)
    {
        ...
    }

Appreciate any feedback or critic. Thanks!
