Unwritten HR rule becomes de facto policy after LLM intervention

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An HR professional discovered that a crucial company policy regarding annual leave was not documented in the official handbook but existed only as an unwritten rule passed down verbally. This unwritten exception, which allowed for leave carry-over, was consistently applied by the HR professional in practice. When the professional attempted to use an LLM to codify this rule, the initial output reflected the formal, documented policy. After editing the LLM's response to incorporate the unwritten exception and its nuances, the professional found that this revised text became the de facto standard, shared and used by subsequent employees.
