Question 1

What makes HMN/PPL different from UKG or BambooHR?

Accepted Answer

HMN/PPL is the only HR platform with autonomous AI agents specifically built for employee discipline workflows. UKG and BambooHR are HRIS platforms with basic HR management. We offer AI progressive discipline tracking, manager coaching, multi-layer compliance across jurisdictions, and auto-generated termination paperwork — features no competitor has.

Question 2

Does the AI make termination decisions?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI agent never terminates an employee on its own. Every termination requires HR review and approval. The agent handles the workflow — tracking incidents, coaching managers, generating documents — but humans make all final decisions. We believe in human-in-the-loop for all consequential actions.

Question 3

How does multi-layer compliance work?

Accepted Answer

Our compliance engine merges rules from country, state, county, and city jurisdictions. When you process a termination in San Francisco, it automatically applies federal US law, California state law, and San Francisco city ordinances — all merged together with the most specific rule winning any conflicts.

Question 4

What states do you support for termination paperwork?

Accepted Answer

We currently support California, Texas, New York, Florida, Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia with state-specific termination documents. This includes COBRA notices, separation notices, Cal/OSHA forms, and final paycheck calculations. We add new states regularly.

Question 5

How does the manager coaching AI work?

Accepted Answer

When a manager needs to have a discipline conversation, our AI provides real-time coaching: suggested language to use, language to avoid, empathy guidance, and a step-by-step conversation structure. It also pushes back if a manager requests disproportionate discipline — like terminating for a first minor offense.

Question 6

Is employee data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All PII (SSN, salary, address, phone) is stripped before any AI call. We use SOC 2 compliant infrastructure, row-level security in the database, and full audit trails on every action. Protected class information is automatically detected and excluded from documentation.

Question 7

How does progressive discipline tracking work?

Accepted Answer

The AI automatically tracks the escalation path for each employee: verbal warning → written warning → PIP → termination review. It detects repeat offenses vs. new issues, identifies whether incidents are the same root cause, and ensures no steps are skipped in the discipline process.

Question 8

Can I import my existing HR policies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our policy engine can import your existing employee handbook and automatically decompose it into individual policies. The AI then uses these policies as context when evaluating incidents and generating recommendations, ensuring all actions align with your specific company rules.
