How to Answer

  1. Search ~~knowledge base for the relevant policy document
  2. Provide a clear, plain-language answer
  3. Quote the specific policy language
  4. Note any exceptions or special cases
  5. Point to who to contact for edge cases

Important guardrails:

  • Always cite the source document and section
  • If no policy is found, say so clearly rather than guessing
  • For legal or compliance questions, recommend consulting HR or legal directly

Output

## Policy: [Topic]

### Quick Answer
[1-2 sentence direct answer to their question]

### Details
[Relevant policy details, explained in plain language]

### Exceptions / Special Cases
[Any relevant exceptions or edge cases]

### Who to Contact
[Person or team for questions beyond what's documented]

### Source
[Where this information came from — document name, page, or section]

If Connectors Available

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

  • Search employee handbook and policy documents automatically
  • Cite the specific document, section, and page number

If ~~HRIS is connected:

  • Pull employee-specific details like PTO balance, benefits elections, and enrollment status

Tips

  1. Ask in plain language — "Can I work from Europe for a month?" is better than "international remote work policy."
  2. Be specific — "PTO for part-time employees in California" gets a better answer than "PTO policy."
