  • {{company_policy}} — the disciplinary policy or procedure that was followed.

Instructions

  4. Suggest adjustments to the action or process to improve compliance and fairness.
  5. Recommend documentation practices to protect against legal challenges.

  • Do not assume facts not provided; flag missing information.
