Every state has its own employment laws. We keep one law file for each state and for Washington DC. Each file is built from official government sources, like the state labor office and the state legislature.
When you make a handbook, the AI uses your state's file for the state rules. It cannot make up dollar amounts, dates, or waiting periods. If it has to assume something, it adds that to a checklist so you can review it before you use the handbook.
We check every file against official government sites. The last full check was in September 2026. We also look for new law changes every 3 months.
Handbook Generator is not a law firm. If your situation is unusual, please have a lawyer look it over.
