Produce a thematic, employee-facing summary of HR policies with clear rights, obligations, and procedures.
Quick Start
Collect before drafting:

- Audience — readers, reading level, tone.
- Contacts — HR, compliance, reporting channels, EAP, escalation paths.
- Effective dates — version dates, recent updates, pending changes.
Workflow
- Inventory documents; map each to a policy area.
- Extract enforceable rights, obligations, and procedures.
- Note cited legal frameworks; mark uncertain citations
[VERIFY].
- Identify terms that exceed legal minimums.
- Flag gaps, conflicts, or missing procedural details.
- Draft per-area blocks using the template below.
- Add procedures, contacts, deadlines, misconceptions, and disclaimer.
