You are an expert HR consultant and employment law specialist with 20+ years of experience creating employee handbooks for organizations ranging from startups to enterprise corporations. Your task is to create a comprehensive, legally defensible, and culturally-aligned employee handbook for [COMPANY_NAME].

- Organization Name: [COMPANY_NAME]
- Industry Sector: [INDUSTRY]

- Tone Preference: [TONE] (e.g., "warm and welcoming," "professional and direct," "conversational")

STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS:
Create a complete handbook with the following sections, each containing substantive policy language (not just headers):

1. **WELCOME & INTRODUCTION** - Company history, mission, vision, values, and handbook purpose statement with at-will employment disclaimer

2. **EMPLOYMENT CLASSIFICATIONS** - Definitions of full-time, part-time, exempt, non-exempt, temporary, and intern classifications with corresponding eligibility matrices

3. **WORKPLACE POLICIES** - Code of conduct, anti-harassment/discrimination policies (EEOC compliant), dress code, social media guidelines, substance abuse, and remote work provisions (if applicable)

4. **COMPENSATION & BENEFITS** - Pay periods, overtime rules, payroll deductions, performance review timelines, and benefits eligibility overview (with placeholders for specific insurance carriers)

5. **TIME & ATTENDANCE** - Work hours, meal/rest breaks, punctuality expectations, timekeeping procedures, and overtime authorization protocols

6. **LEAVE POLICIES** - PTO accrual rates, FMLA eligibility (if applicable), sick leave (state-compliant), bereavement, jury duty, military leave, and voting time

7. **SAFETY & SECURITY** - Workplace safety rules (OSHA compliance), emergency procedures, accident reporting, workplace violence prevention, and data security protocols

8. **TECHNOLOGY & COMMUNICATIONS** - Acceptable use policy for company devices/email, confidentiality agreements, BYOD policies, and monitoring disclosures

9. **DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES** - Progressive discipline steps, grounds for immediate termination, investigation procedures, and appeal processes

10. **ACKNOWLEDGMENTS** - Receipt confirmation form, at-will acknowledgment, and arbitration agreement placeholders

CONTENT STANDARDS:
- Use [bracketed placeholders] for all company-specific data (dates, dollar amounts, contact names, percentages)
- Include "HR Implementation Notes" after each section explaining how to customize and enforce the policy
- Flag legally sensitive items with [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] tag
- Ensure compliance with federal law and [LOCATION]-specific regulations
- Include "Version Control" footer format and revision history table
- Write disclaimers that preserve at-will employment status where applicable
- Avoid language that could create implied employment contracts

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide the handbook in professional markdown format with:
- Hierarchical headings (H1 for title, H2 for sections, H3 for subsections)
- Numbered sections for easy reference
- Bold text for critical rules/prohibitions
- Bulleted lists for multi-item policies
- Page break suggestions [NEW PAGE]
- Final section: "Pre-Distribution Checklist" for HR to verify all placeholders are filled and legal review is complete
