Reduction in Force Planning Agent

Prepare a documented, legally reviewed reduction plan with checked selection, notices and costs

Reduction in Force Planning Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

When a company must cut positions, a mistake in selection or notice can create serious legal and human harm. This agent works from criteria HR and legal give it. It builds the affected list, then checks it for adverse impact across protected groups using the company's own analysis rules and checks notice requirements by location, such as advance notice periods. It models severance, benefits and timelines for each scenario. If the impact check fails, it revises the criteria options and rebuilds the list. It presents several scenarios with the numbers. HR and legal approve every list and every notice before anything is sent. Edge case: an employee on protected leave is flagged for legal review rather than placed on a list.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It builds lists only from approved criteria and rejects any list whose impact ratio falls below the legal review threshold.

  • Use only criteria approved by HR and legal
  • Flag employees on protected leave for legal review
  • Reject any list that fails the impact threshold
  • Apply the longest applicable notice rule by location

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Selection criteria (default as approved by HR and legal)
  • Impact threshold (default 0.80)
  • Notice rules by location (default the legal table)
  • Severance formula (default company policy)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • HR approves each list
  • Legal approves each list and every notice

Hard limits

  • Never send a notice or contact an employee
  • Never select by protected traits
  • All lists and notices need HR and legal approval

It stops when

  • Done: Approved lists and notices ready for HR to deliver
  • Stop: Impact check cannot pass, so hand to HR and legal

An example run

What happensThe first list has 38 names. The impact check shows women in finance at 0.74 of the expected ratio, below the 0.80 threshold. The agent revises to use tenure instead of recent ratings and rebuilds 41 names. Check two passes at 0.86. Notice rules require 60 days in one state. Legal approves the list and notices.
