SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Handbook changes often have ripple effects across cross-references, defined terms, and state supplement variations that can create inconsistencies after publication.

Core Features & Use Cases

Diff-first update analysis: Compares a proposed handbook change against the current handbook section and presents the resulting differences.
Cross-reference impact checks: Identifies where other sections reference the changed content and flags references that may no longer be accurate.
State supplement impact assessment: Evaluates how state supplements modify the changed section and determines whether they need updates or new supplements.
Promise risk flagging: Highlights situations where the change may reduce promised benefits and notes potential jurisdictional risk.

Quick Start

Use handbook-updates to diff a proposed handbook insertion and generate a ready-to-publish impact report for cross-references and state supplements.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check handbook policy edits for cross-reference inconsistencies before publishing?▼

To check handbook policy edits for cross-reference inconsistencies, compare the proposed language against your current handbook section to produce a diff. This identifies downstream ripple effects where other sections reference the changed content and flags references that may no longer be accurate.

How do state supplements interact with updated PTO and leave policies?▼

State supplements modify the updated PTO and leave policies by overriding or adding jurisdictional rules. A state supplement impact assessment evaluates these interactions to determine whether existing supplements need updates or if new supplements must be drafted to maintain consistency.

What is a handbook diff analysis and when do I need it?▼

A handbook diff analysis compares proposed policy changes against current handbook language to identify publication inconsistencies. You need it when proposing updates to handbook sections, including PTO or leave policy edits, to catch downstream ripple effects across cross-references and defined terms.

How do I identify legal risks when a handbook update reduces promised benefits?▼

To identify legal risks when a handbook update reduces promised benefits, generate a promise-reduction risk callout. This highlights situations where the policy change may reduce benefits and notes potential jurisdictional risk without approving or communicating employee-facing changes.

Does this handbook diff analysis approve and communicate employee-facing policy changes?▼

No, this handbook diff analysis does not approve or operationally communicate employee-facing policy changes. It strictly produces a diff, a cross-reference impact table, a state supplement impact table, and a promise-reduction risk callout to flag inconsistencies before publication.
