Practice tips

  1. Select the workflow from the CoCounsel Library, or instruct CoCounsel in the chat: "I need to draft an employee policy."

    Policy type
    . Options include:
    • Drug Testing
    • Family and Medical Leave
    • Paid Sick Leave
  3. Choose between

    .
  4. If you are revising an existing policy, use the
    Upload
    button to upload your policy document.

  6. Select
    Draft policy
    .
  7. CoCounsel will draft an employment policy, which will contain links to a summary of changes, with notes on how CoCounsel has amended the Practical Law Standard Document or your uploaded policy, based on your instructions. For a policy based on your uploaded content, the changes will be redlined.
  8. The summary of changes further contains links to the underlying Practical Law resources that guided CoCounsel to make its drafting choices for ease of reference.
  9. You can download the policy with or without the summary of changes. If you choose to include the notes, they'll appear as comments in Microsoft Word.

Limitations to keep in mind
