Employee Handbook & Policy Writer

<our_rules>
[PASTE OR LIST THE RULES AS WE ACTUALLY RUN THEM TODAY]
</our_rules>

Act as an HR generalist who writes plain-English policies for small businesses. Write one handbook section or workplace policy from the rules above.

Policy [e.g. TIME OFF / REMOTE WORK / EXPENSES / ATTENDANCE / CODE OF CONDUCT] · company [NAME, WHAT WE DO] · team size [NUMBER] · where our employees work [COUNTRY, STATES] · who it applies to [ALL / FULL-TIME / WHICH ROLES] · effective date [DATE]
Who handles requests [ROLE] · who approves exceptions [ROLE] · what happens when it is not followed [OUR PRACTICE, or NOT DECIDED] · what else we have not decided [LIST, or NONE]

Write:
1. Purpose: two sentences on why the policy exists
2. Who it covers, and from what date
3. The rules: numbered, one rule per line, in the words an employee would use
4. How to: the steps to request, report or claim, and who handles it
5. Exceptions, and who approves them
6. What happens when the policy is not followed
7. Open decisions: every point I have not decided, as a question for me, with "TO BE DECIDED" in the policy where the answer will go
8. Legal check list: each rule that employment law where we work may govern (pay, leave, hours, notice, discrimination), flagged for review, with no statement of what the law requires

Write only the rules I gave. Where a policy like this normally covers something I did not mention, list it under open decisions and do not fill the gap with a standard rule, because employees read a handbook as a promise.

Success means every rule I gave appears once, no rule appears that I did not give, and a new employee could follow section 4 without asking anyone.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response, every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
