From chaos to compliance in four steps
Whether you're starting fresh or updating an existing handbook, Bounda guides you through the entire process. Here's exactly what happens.
The Bounda compliance cycle
A systematic approach to HR compliance. Audit what you have, prioritise what matters, fix what's broken, and stay compliant as the law changes.
Audit
Upload your existing handbook or start fresh. Bounda ingests your policies and prepares them for analysis.
Prioritise
AI analyses every policy against UK employment law. Issues are ranked by severity so you know what to fix first.
Fix
One-click AI redrafting generates compliant versions. Review the changes, approve what you like, and move on.
Deploy
Export your compliant handbook. Deploy the Handbook Chatbot. Generate HR documents. You're protected.
Bounda monitors UK employment law for changes. When something affects your handbook, you'll know — and you'll have the tools to fix it.
Start with your handbook
You can bring your existing handbook or start completely fresh. Either way, Bounda meets you where you are.
"I have an existing handbook"
Paste your policies directly into Bounda. Copy from Word, PDF, or wherever they live. Each policy becomes a section we can analyse.
"I'm starting from scratch"
Use gap analysis to see which policies you need. Generate compliant policies from our 50+ predefined types. Build as you go.
💡 Tip: Most customers paste their existing policies first, fix compliance issues, then use gap analysis to identify what's missing.
50+ policy types

AI analyses every policy
The moment you save a policy, Bounda's AI checks it against 15+ UK legislation sources. Every issue is identified, categorised, and explained.
What we check against:
Issues ranked by severity:
Fix issues with one click
Don't rewrite policies yourself. Click "Redraft" and Bounda generates a compliant version that fixes all identified issues. You review and approve.
AI generates a redraft
The new version addresses every compliance issue while keeping your policy's intent and structure. Legal citations included.
See exactly what changed
Every change is highlighted with an explanation of why it was made. No black box — you understand every edit.
Review and approve
You're always in control. Accept the redraft, make manual edits, or reject and try again with different parameters.
Save to your handbook
Approve the redraft and it becomes part of your handbook. Version history tracks what changed and when.
🎨 Your voice, your style
Set up a Tone Profile to control how the AI writes. Choose formality level, voice (authoritative vs supportive), and how to refer to your company.

ERA 2025 is here. Is your handbook ready?
The Employment Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent in December 2025, and its provisions are rolling out in stages through 2026 and beyond — reshaping flexible working, fire and rehire, and day-one protections. Bounda is already updated and will help you bring your handbook in line.

Common questions
It depends on your starting point. If you have an existing handbook with 20-30 policies, expect 2-4 hours to import, analyse, and fix critical issues. Starting from scratch takes longer (4-6 hours for a basic handbook), but Bounda does the heavy lifting of generating compliant content.
