How answers are made
QuestionHR gives general HR information. Here is exactly who or what writes each kind of answer, what it can and can't do, and where our source links come from.
Free answers
Free answers are written automatically by an AI model from your question. No person reviews them before you see them. The AI is told to give general information only, not to state specific laws, deadlines or dollar amounts as fact, and to suggest talking to a qualified employment attorney or HR professional when local law matters. AI can be wrong or incomplete.
Official sources to check
Under free answers and on our topic guides we show links to official government or public-agency pages, such as the U.S. Department of Labor, the EEOC, OSHA, the NLRB and USCIS. The AI does not choose or write these links. They come from a fixed list that we open and check by hand, and we pick them by matching words in your question to a topic. They are a starting point, not a review of your situation.
Detailed Answers ($1.99)
Each Detailed Answer is prepared with the help of AI before it is emailed to you, usually within 2 business days. It is not written or reviewed by a lawyer. It looks at rules that may apply where you work, based on the facts you give. It is still general information, not legal advice.
Write-Up Builder, Quick Check and Check My Write-Up
The Write-Up Builder uses AI to turn your notes into a factual, neutral draft. The free Quick Check uses fixed rules (no AI) to look for common missing pieces and opinion words; it doesn't save your text. Check My Write-Up ($1.99) is an automated AI review; before it runs, we try to remove names and medical details automatically (an AI step sees the original text once), and you check the result before paying. Automatic removal can miss things.
Topic guides
Our topic guides are written by us in plain English and describe general, mostly federal, U.S. rules. We don't state a specific state's rules unless an official source we link to says so. Each guide shows when it was last reviewed.
What we don't do
- We are not a law firm and don't give legal advice.
- We don't tell you whether you have a case or whether an action was lawful.
- We do not sell your information (see our Privacy Policy).
