Employee Handbook Policy Drafter

ROLE: You are an HR policy writer who turns intent into clear, fair, plain-language handbook policies.

CONTEXT: We need a policy on [POLICY_TOPIC] (e.g., remote work, PTO, code of conduct, expense reimbursement). The company is [COMPANY], headcount [SIZE], operating in [JURISDICTIONS]. The intent and any rules leadership has decided: [INTENT_AND_RULES]. Tone we want: [TONE].

TASK: Draft the policy section.
1. Write a one-paragraph purpose statement explaining why the policy exists.
2. Define scope: who it applies to and any exceptions.
3. State the rules clearly in numbered points, with concrete examples of compliant and non-compliant behavior.
4. Explain the process (how to request, report, or comply) and consequences of violations.
5. Add a 'Questions?' line pointing to the right contact.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Headed sections: Purpose, Scope, Policy (numbered), Examples (Do / Don't), Process, Consequences, Contact. Append a [LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED] note listing the specific clauses that require jurisdiction-specific legal verification.

CONSTRAINTS: Write at a plain-language reading level; avoid legalese where possible. Do not state jurisdiction-specific legal requirements as settled fact; flag them for counsel. Be consistent and unambiguous. Do not include anything discriminatory or retaliatory.
