The big picture

How a compliance check works

Document Studio turns a review that used to take a lawyer an afternoon into five steps. Pick the document, paste it in, let Regulyn analyse it, read the scorecard and redraft, then check every clause.

01

Pick

Choose from 40+ document types and click Check Compliance. Regulyn checks the right things for a contract versus a disciplinary letter.

02

Paste

Drop in the full text from Word, PDF or email. The text is not saved to your account.

03

Analyse

Regulyn reads every clause, compares it to your handbook, detects conflicts and drafts recommendations, usually in one to three minutes.

04

Redraft

Read the compliance scorecard, with before and after scores, and take away a fully redrafted document with every fix applied.

05

Review

Drill into the clause-by-clause breakdown to see where the document is strong and where it needed work.

Private by design. Your document text is processed for the check and is not saved to your account, so you can check sensitive contracts and letters.

Step one

Pick the document you are checking

Open Document Studio and find your document among 40+ types, grouped into categories or searched instantly. Each type carries its own risk and statutory flags, so Regulyn knows what to look for.

Check Compliance

You already have a document and want to know if it is safe to send. This walkthrough follows this path.

Draft New

Starting from a blank page? Answer a guided wizard and Regulyn generates the document from your policies instead.

Cannot see your type? Use Quick Search to jump straight to it. Picking the right type matters: a contract is checked very differently from a grievance outcome letter.

40+ document types, each flagged for risk and statutory requirements.

Paste the full text. Formatting does not matter.

Step two

Paste the full document

Copy the complete text, including headers, body, signature blocks and any schedules, and paste it in. Plain text from Word, PDF or email is fine. The more complete the document, the more thorough the analysis.

Then Regulyn will:

  • Analyse it against your approved handbook policies
  • Categorise every issue by severity: Compliance Fixes, Alignment Corrections and Enhancements
  • Generate a fully redrafted document with all suggested changes

Your document text is processed for the check and is not saved to your account, so you can check sensitive contracts and settlement letters.

If the text looks like a different document type from the one you picked, Regulyn flags the mismatch before it runs.

Step three

Regulyn reviews it line by line

Click Check Compliance and Regulyn works through your document against your handbook and UK employment law. It usually takes one to three minutes. A deeper analysis means stronger, more defensible documents.

One to three minutes, checked against your handbook and UK law.

The Compliance Scorecard for a contract of employment showing an original score of 0% rising to 100% after redrafting, with counts of 24 compliance fixes, 1 alignment correction, 2 enhancements and 18% policy coverage, alongside a change summary and the redrafted document

The scorecard: original score, score after redraft, and the issues behind the change.

Step four

Read your compliance scorecard

You get a plain-English summary, an original score, and the score your document reaches once every suggested change is applied. The example shown goes from 0% to 100% with 27 issues resolved.

Before and after, side by side. Each finding shows the current text against the suggested wording, so you can see what changed and why.

Issues are ranked by severity

Compliance FixMust change
A legal requirement or direct policy breach that creates real risk.
Alignment CorrectionShould change
Wording or values that drift from your handbook language.
EnhancementCould add
Optional improvements that strengthen an already sound document.

Toggle Show Changes to see each edit in place, or read the redraft with every fix already applied.

Step five

Drill into every clause

Below the scorecard, Clauses Reviewed shows the status of each part of your document against handbook policy, so you know where the document is strong and where it needs work.

Compliant
Matches policy and statutory requirements
Needs attention
Ambiguous or partially aligned
Action required
Missing clause or a clear conflict

Additional considerations

Advisory items that are not part of the redraft but are worth a look, such as a policy the contract relies on that was not provided, or branding that should be consistent across your document suite. Regulyn also flags any policy coverage gaps it could not verify.

Under the hood

What every check looks at

Each analysis runs the document through the same set of checks, tuned to the document type you selected.

01

Policy alignment

Do values and statements match your handbook? Notice periods, holiday entitlement, pay and more.

02

Completeness

Are all required clauses present, both statutory particulars and policy-mandated items?

03

Conflict detection

Do any clauses contradict your handbook or create internal inconsistencies?

04

Statutory requirements

For contracts: are all ERA 1996 written particulars included with explicit values?

05

Terminology consistency

Do defined terms match handbook wording, such as "Company" versus "Employer"?

06

Best practice

Optional enhancements that would strengthen the document even where they are not strictly required.

Questions

Common questions

What types of documents can I check?
Any HR document, across 40+ types: employment contracts, offer letters, disciplinary and grievance outcomes, flexible working decisions, redundancy letters, settlement agreements and more. Picking the correct type tells Regulyn what to check, because a contract is reviewed very differently from a disciplinary letter.
How long does a compliance check take?
Most checks complete in one to three minutes. Regulyn reads the whole document, compares every clause to your handbook, detects conflicts, drafts recommendations, and assembles the redraft and scorecard. A deeper analysis means stronger, more defensible documents.
Is my document content stored?
No. Your document text is processed for the check and is not saved to your account, so you can check sensitive material like contracts and settlement agreements.
What do the compliance scores mean?
Your document is scored out of 100, starting at 100 with points deducted per issue: a Compliance Fix has the biggest impact, an Alignment Correction less, and an Enhancement the least. You see both the original score and the score the document reaches once every suggested change is applied.
What is the difference between checking and drafting?
Checking analyses a document you already have, for example a contract before sending or past correspondence you want to audit. Drafting creates a new document from scratch using a guided wizard and your policies. Use Check Compliance when you have content to review and Draft New when you are starting fresh.
Does the redraft replace legal advice?
No. Document checking catches issues quickly, but it is not a substitute for legal advice. For complex documents such as settlement agreements or contracts with restrictive covenants, have them reviewed by an employment lawyer before issuing.
Do I need my handbook set up first?
For the best results, yes. The checker compares your document against the policies in your handbook, so the more complete your handbook, the more precise the analysis. Where a relevant policy is missing, Regulyn flags the coverage gap and falls back to UK statutory defaults.
