Generate policies with AI
Create compliant HR policies from scratch with Policy Studio.
What Policy Studio does
Policy Studio generates complete, legally compliant HR policies from scratch. Select a policy type, add context about your company if you want to, and Regulyn creates a ready-to-use policy grounded in UK employment law.
When to use it
- Starting from scratch
- You have no existing policy for this area and need to create one from nothing.
- Filling compliance gaps
- Gap Analysis showed you are missing a required policy. Generate it straight away.
- New legal requirements
- A new law requires a policy you do not have (for example the strengthened anti-harassment duty arriving in October 2026).
- A fresh start
- Your current policy is so out of date that starting again is easier than rewriting it.
Step by step
- 1
Select a policy type
Choose from 50+ policy types organised into three categories.
Category Meaning Examples Core Legally required. Policies that UK law requires employers to have. Disciplinary, Grievance, Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities, Sexual Harassment, Whistleblowing, and more Recommended Best practice policies that most employers should have. Sickness Absence, Annual Leave, Data Protection, Pension, Working Hours, and more Optional Additional policies depending on your business needs. Remote Working, Social Media, Dress Code, Expenses, Training, and more - 2
Add context (optional)
Tell Regulyn about your specific requirements. This produces a more tailored policy. Examples of context you might add:
- "We're a tech company with fully remote employees. Include specific provisions for home office setup and equipment."
- "We offer enhanced maternity pay of 12 weeks full pay followed by statutory. Make sure this is included."
- "We're in the food industry so need to emphasise hygiene and specific food safety requirements."

Generate
Click Generate policy and wait while Regulyn creates your policy. This typically takes one to three minutes, because the analysis goes deeper than a quick draft so the output is stronger and more defensible.
During generation, Regulyn
- Identifies all legal requirements for the policy type
- Applies your tone profile (formality, voice, company reference)
- Checks your existing policies to avoid duplication
- Incorporates any context you provided
- Flags items needing your review
- 4
Review the generated policy
After generation, you see your policy along with supporting context:
- Legal framework
- Which laws and regulations were used (for example "ERA 1996 ss.94-98", "ACAS Code of Practice")
- Included elements
- Key components included in the policy (for example "Right to appeal", "Investigation process")
- Notes for review
- Items needing your attention (for example "Confirm enhanced pay rates", "Add HR contact details")
- 5
Edit if needed
Click Edit policy to make any changes before saving:
- Fill in company-specific details (contact names, enhanced benefits)
- Adjust wording to match your preferences
- Add or remove sections based on your needs
- Address the "Notes for review" items
- 6

Tips for the best results
- 1
Set your tone profile first
Generated policies use your tone profile. Set it up before generating for a consistent voice.
- 2
Generate core policies first
Start with the legally required policies. Later policies will cross-reference them automatically.
- 3
Be specific with context
If you have enhanced benefits or special requirements, mention them in the context field.
- 4
Always review the notes
The "Notes for review" section highlights items that need your input. Do not skip it.
- 5
Regenerate if needed
