Employment Legal

Add a new leave to the leave register with the minimum information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on leave and you want the tracker to watch designation, certification, and exhaustion clocks from day one.

Review an offer letter and any restrictive covenants — jurisdiction check included. Substantive rules (covenant enforceability, pay-transparency, salary-history limits, exemption criteria) are researched per hire, not stored. Use when the user says "review this offer", "can we use a non-compete here", "check this offer letter", "hiring in [state]", or attaches an offer.

Check open leaves for deadline alerts and required decisions. Surfaces only the leaves that require an action and explains why — not a status board. Use weekly, or whenever the attorney needs to know which leaves have upcoming designation, certification, or exhaustion deadlines.

Draft an employment policy with state supplements where law differs across the jurisdictional footprint. Use when the user says "draft a [topic] policy", "we need a policy on", "update our [topic] policy", or names a policy gap.

Update the status of an in-progress international expansion project — recalculates what is now unblocked, flags anything overdue, and surfaces the next priorities. Use when work has happened since the last session and the expansion tracker needs to reflect the current state.

Diff a proposed handbook change against the current version, flag ripple effects and state supplement impacts. Use when user says "update the handbook", "add this to the handbook", "handbook change", or has a policy ready for insertion.

Kick off international expansion planning for a new country — gathers intake, runs EOR vs. entity framing, drafts cross-functional questions, surfaces country-specific flags, and creates a persistent tracker. Use when someone says "we're hiring in [country]", "expansion to [country]", or "first hire in [country]".

Add data to an open investigation — documents, interview notes, or observations. Processes batches against the documented pull criteria, surfaces significant items, and logs everything reviewed for coverage verification. Use when new evidence, interview notes, or document productions come in for an open investigation.

Draft or update the privileged investigation memo from the investigation log. Use when an investigation is far enough along to write the first memo cut, or when new data has been added and the existing draft needs updating.

Open a new internal investigation matter — runs intake, generates the sources checklist, and creates the persistent investigation log. Use when a complaint or allegation comes in and the attorney needs to stand up a privileged investigation workspace.

Termination review — high-risk flag detection, severance + release, and final pay timing by jurisdiction. Jurisdiction-specific rules and release consideration periods are researched per review, not stored. Use when the user says "reviewing a termination", "can we fire this person", "term review", or describes a termination scenario.

Ask questions against an open investigation log — what witnesses said, where accounts conflict, what gaps exist, what the strongest evidence is on each issue. Use when the attorney needs to query the investigation record without re-reading every entry.

Draft an audience-specific summary from the privileged investigation memo — HR, leadership, or outside counsel versions. Use when an investigation memo needs to be communicated to an audience that should not see the full privileged work product.
