Draft an offer letter for a new hirescenario · built in

Claude should produce a professional offer letter covering all standard elements: position title (Marketing Coordinator), start date (August 4), reporting manager (Marketing Director), compensation ($62,000 annually, paid bi-weekly), classification (full-time, exempt), benefits eligibility (day one), contingency (background check), and an at-will statement. It should use a placeholder for the candidate's name and include a signature block. It must not invent specific benefit plan names or details not provided in the prompt.

Answer a manager's FMLA eligibility questionscenario · built in

Claude should explain the three federal FMLA eligibility criteria — 12 months of employment, 1,250 hours worked in the past 12 months, and working at a location with 50+ employees within 75 miles — and note that this employee meets the tenure requirement but falls short of the 1,250-hour threshold based on the information provided. It should recommend verifying the exact hours from HRIS records, checking whether any state leave law has a lower hours threshold, and consulting legal counsel if the eligibility determination is close or contested.

Draft a PIP outline for repeated missed deadlinesscenario · built in

Claude should produce a structured PIP outline with standard sections: performance gaps (describing the three late Q2 submissions and the July 10 client deadline specifically), expected standard (clear deliverable timing and communication requirements), support provided, 60-day review period, and consequences. All behavioral descriptions should be factual and specific, not characterizing. The outline must use a placeholder for the employee name and must not invent details about specific projects or the employee.
