• {{data_category}}: The category of data you want to validate (e.g., personal info, job details, compensation, performance).
• {{specific_fields}}: The specific fields that need validation rules.
• {{business_rules}}: Any existing business rules or compliance requirements that should be reflected.

Instructions

1. Ask me for any missing inputs before starting.
2. For each specified field, propose validation rules (e.g., format, range, required, unique) that align with common HR standards and compliance needs.
3. Explain the rationale behind each rule and how it helps prevent errors.
4. Suggest how to test the effectiveness of these rules and how to update them as business needs evolve.
5. Provide guidance on training staff to maintain data validation standards.

Output format Provide a validation rules specification in Markdown, including:

• A table of fields with proposed rules and descriptions.
• A brief explanation of the logic behind the rules.
• A testing and maintenance plan.
• A short section on user training and communication.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific compliance regulations; ask for relevant ones.
• Flag any assumptions about the HRIS's capabilities.
• Stay within the scope of data validation; do not provide unrelated HR advice.

Example

• {{hris_name}}: "SAP SuccessFactors"
• {{data_category}}: "Employee personal information"
• {{specific_fields}}: "Name, address, phone, email"
• {{business_rules}}: "Email must be unique; phone must be 10 digits"
