Not Legal Advice

Employee Companion provides general information and educational content only. Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using this service.

The information provided is based on general HR best practices, commonly accepted workplace standards, and publicly available information about federal and state employment laws. However, employment law is complex, varies by jurisdiction, and changes frequently.

For specific legal questions or concerns, you should consult with a qualified employment attorney licensed in your state.

Informational Purposes Only

All content provided through Employee Companion—including responses from Ask HR Powered by Avery, policy explanations, career tools, and personality assessments—is for informational and educational purposes only.

This content should not be relied upon as a substitute for:

• Professional legal advice from a qualified attorney
• Official interpretations of your company's policies from your HR department
• Medical, financial, or other professional advice
• Definitive guidance on complex workplace situations

No Guarantees

While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about:

• The completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of information provided
• The outcomes of following any guidance or using any tools provided
• The applicability of general information to your specific situation
• The currency of information, as laws and practices change regularly

Verify With Your Employer

Always verify information with your employer's HR department or official company policies. Every organization has unique policies, procedures, and interpretations. What is common practice in one organization may not apply to yours.

Your employee handbook, company policies, and HR representatives are the authoritative sources for information about your specific employment situation.

State-Specific Laws

Employment laws vary significantly by state and sometimes by locality. While Employee Companion attempts to provide state-specific guidance where possible, we cannot guarantee that information reflects the most current laws or all applicable local regulations in your area.

For state-specific legal questions, consult with an employment attorney licensed in your state or contact your state's labor department.

AI-Generated Content

Employee Companion uses artificial intelligence to generate responses and content. While AI can be helpful, it has limitations:

• AI may not have access to the most recent legal changes
• AI responses are generated based on patterns and may not be perfect
• AI cannot understand the full context of your unique situation
• AI cannot provide legal advice or definitive legal interpretations

Always review AI-generated content critically and verify important information through official channels.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HR On Demand and Employee Companion shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use this service, including but not limited to:

• Employment decisions or actions taken based on information provided
• Misunderstanding or misapplication of information
• Inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated content
• Any reliance on information provided without independent verification
