Frequently asked questions

Is this final policy wording?

No. It is a starting-point draft and should be reviewed before use.

Can part-time staff use the same policy?

Usually yes, but entitlements and pro-rata adjustments still need to reflect the working pattern.

What should a leave policy cover?

A good policy usually covers leave year, entitlement, booking rules, carry-over, bank holidays, and sickness during holiday.

Is the generated output ready to use without edits?

No. Treat it as a strong first draft and review it before using it in a live HR, hiring, or employee context.

Will the tool know company-specific facts automatically?

No. It works from the details you provide and is designed to avoid confidently inventing unknown business facts.
