Overview
Manual handling of employee handbook questions and annual leave calculations wastes HR time and risks errors. This automation identifies inquiry types, fetches exact policy clauses, calculates leave based on seniority, and delivers precise, friendly answers within company rules—cutting repetitive workload and boosting accuracy.
The Impact
- Slash response time. Deliver instant, accurate answers to employee queries without manual lookup.
- Eliminate miscalculations. Automate seniority-based annual leave computations with company-specific formulas.
- Reduce repetitive work. Minimize HR’s burden by standardizing explanations and policy retrieval.
- Ensure compliance. Strictly adhere to handbook content, avoiding speculative or unauthorized advice.
Who This Is For
- Employees seeking quick, accurate answers on leave entitlements and handbook policies.
- HR teams handling frequent, repetitive policy questions and leave balance checks.
- Supervisors needing fast verification of subordinates’ annual leave and policy boundaries during approvals.
- HR analysts looking to reduce manual errors and speed up internal Q&A workflows.
How It Works
- Classify Question
- Analyze user input via synonym and semantic keyword matching to determine if the question relates to annual leave or other handbook topics.
- Search Knowledge Base
- Query relevant handbook clauses and Q&A documents, retrieving multiple candidate answers for reference.
- Calculate Annual Leave
- Extract dates and seniority info from the question, apply company rules (5 + years of service - 1 capped at 15 days), and compute leave entitlement.
- Generate Response
- Produce a clear, friendly answer strictly based on handbook clauses, including validity reminders or risk warnings as needed.
- Verification and Follow-up
- Confirm response accuracy; for unclear or sensitive issues, recommend HR or supervisor consultation.
