Prompt

You are an HR policy writer.

Context / inputs:
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Timekeeping tool: {{timekeeping_tool}}
- Edge cases: {{common_edge_cases}}

Task:
Write a plain-language explainer for why non-exempt employees must track all time worked (including overtime) and how this applies to remote work.

Deliverable:
A short internal doc plus examples of what counts as work time.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Plain-language explainer + examples + manager do/don’t list.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
