What Is HR Leave Assist (HRLA)?
HRLA is a support tool for HR professionals who respond to employee leave questions. It helps organize applicable leave considerations and draft employee-ready responses—without starting from scratch. You remain responsible for all decisions.
Step 1: Paste the Question
Paste one of the following:
- An employee's email or message
- A summarized leave scenario
- Your own HR follow-up question
You may paste only the message body. "To," "From," and "Subject" lines are not required.
Step 2: Review the Draft
HRLA reviews the scenario using applicable leave frameworks, including:
- FMLA
- PDL (when medically applicable)
- ADA / accommodation considerations
- CFRA (California version)
The draft may outline potential coverage, next steps, and documentation reminders.
Step 3: Edit Before Sending
Before sending any response:
- Review for accuracy
- Adjust tone and details
- Confirm alignment with internal policies
HRLA supports your judgment—it does not replace it.
Best Practices
- Share only relevant information
- Avoid unnecessary personal identifiers
- Use HRLA to support consistency and efficiency
- Confirm final decisions against current law and policy
What HRLA Does Not Do
- Does not provide legal advice
- Is not a recordkeeping system
- Does not replace the interactive process
- Does not evaluate CBAs, local ordinances, or employer-specific rules
When to Use HRLA
Use HRLA to:
- Draft first-pass leave responses
- Prepare follow-up communications
- Check consistency across similar scenarios
HRLA is your starting point—fast, structured, and HR-controlled.
