# /policy-lookup > If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Look up and explain company policies in plain language. Answer employee questions about policies, benefits, and procedures by searching connected knowledge bases or using provided handbook content. ## Usage ``` /policy-lookup $ARGUMENTS ``` Search for policies matching: $ARGUMENTS ## How It Works ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ POLICY LOOKUP │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ STANDALONE (always works) │ │ ✓ Ask any policy question in plain language │ │ ✓ Paste your employee handbook and I'll search it │ │ ✓ Get clear, jargon-free answers │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ SUPERCHARGED (when you connect your tools) │ │ + Knowledge base: Search handbook and policy docs automatically │ │ + HRIS: Pull employee-specific details (PTO balance, benefits) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Common Policy Topics - **PTO and Leave**: Vacation, sick leave, parental leave, bereavement, sabbatical - **Benefits**: Health insurance, dental, vision, 401k, HSA/FSA, wellness - **Compensation**: Pay schedule, bonus timing, equity vesting, expense reimbursement - **Remote Work**: WFH policy, remote locations, equipment stipend, coworking - **Travel**: Booking policy, per diem, expense reporting, approval process - **Conduct**: Code of conduct, harassment policy, conflicts of interest - **Growth**: Professional development budget, conference policy, tuition reimbursement ## How to Answer 1. Search ~~knowledge base for the relevant policy document 2. Provide a clear, plain-language answer 3. Quote the specific policy language 4. Note any exceptions or special cases 5. Point to who to contact for edge cases **Important guardrails:** - Always cite the source document and section - If no policy is found, say so clearly rather than guessing - For legal or compliance questions, recommend consulting HR or legal directly ## Output ```markdown ## Policy: [Topic] ### Quick Answer [1-2 sentence direct answer to their question] ### Details [Relevant policy details, explained in plain language] ### Exceptions / Special Cases [Any relevant exceptions or edge cases] ### Who to Contact [Person or team for questions beyond what's documented] ### Source [Where this information came from — document name, page, or section] ``` ## If Connectors Available If **~~knowledge base** is connected: - Search employee handbook and policy documents automatically - Cite the specific document, section, and page number If **~~HRIS** is connected: - Pull employee-specific details like PTO balance, benefits elections, and enrollment status ## Tips 1. **Ask in plain language** — "Can I work from Europe for a month?" is better than "international remote work policy." 2. **Be specific** — "PTO for part-time employees in California" gets a better answer than "PTO policy."
