What we check

The review scores your handbook across five dimensions that determine whether it actually works for your team:

Completeness of key policy sections
Structure and navigation
Clarity of language
Freshness and modern tone
Internal consistency

On top of the scores, you get concrete findings — missing policies, outdated language, structural problems — ranked by severity. Import your handbook into HandbookHub and every finding becomes a suggested edit you can apply in one click.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a legal review of my employee handbook?

No. HandbookHub provides an AI-powered quality review for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice. We recommend having employment counsel review your final handbook, especially sections on employment policies, discrimination, and compliance.

What file types can I upload?

PDF and Word (.docx) files up to 10MB. Scanned-image-only PDFs can't be analyzed — the file needs selectable text.

Do I need to pay for the review?

The review and score are completely free after you sign in with a free account. Importing your handbook into HandbookHub — with every finding pre-loaded as a fix suggestion — requires starting a free trial.

What happens to my handbook file?

Your file is analyzed securely and never shared. If you import it into HandbookHub, the original file is deleted after import. Abandoned reviews are automatically removed after 30 days.

What's the difference between the review and the generator?

The review is for handbooks you already have — it scores your document and shows what to fix. The generator builds a new handbook outline from scratch based on your industry and team size.
