## Prompt

```text
Role: Act as an HR manager drafting a policy section for the employee handbook.

Context: Policy topic: [POLICY_TOPIC]. Objectives and principles: [OBJECTIVES]. Legal / regulatory context and jurisdiction: [LEGAL_CONTEXT]. What is changing from today: [CHANGES]. Systems / forms involved: [SYSTEMS]. Tone we want: [TONE].

Task: Draft the section: purpose and scope; who it applies to; the rules in plain language; the step-by-step process with roles and timeframes; exceptions and escalation; related policies; and a short FAQ. Mark anything that needs legal or works-council review.

Format: A structured policy section with numbered clauses and an FAQ. Plain English, defined terms where needed.

Verification: Do not assert legal entitlements or obligations without a [LEGAL REVIEW] flag. Flag any clause that varies by jurisdiction.

Validation: Read it as an employee with no HR knowledge: is it clear what they must do and what happens if they do not? Rewrite the least clear clause.
