Editorial Policy

Read the Folio HR standards for sourcing, updates, corrections, independence, and responsible use of HR information.

This policy explains how Folio HR approaches its English HR guides and resource directory for small and midsize teams.

Editorial purpose

We publish practical information that helps readers understand HR topics and research relevant resources. Each page should be clear about what it covers, avoid unsupported claims, and give readers enough context to verify important details.

Sources

We prefer primary and official sources when they are available and relevant. These may include laws, regulations, government guidance, official documentation, and a provider's own current product information.

Secondary sources may add useful context, but they do not replace official sources for material legal, regulatory, policy, pricing, or product claims. When a fact can change, readers should confirm it with the responsible authority or provider.

Editorial independence and commercial relationships

Directory listings and links to third-party resources are starting points for research. Folio HR does not control a provider's pricing, terms, availability, support, or data practices.

Editorial decisions are based on usefulness, clarity, and supportable information. Advertising, partner links, sponsored placements, and sponsored articles may appear on Folio HR. Paid placements should be identified where they appear. Commercial relationships do not control factual conclusions, updates, or corrections.

Updates

HR rules, workplace practices, and provider details can change. We may update a page when material information changes, better sources become available, or the explanation needs more context. An update may revise facts, links, examples, structure, or wording.

Corrections

When we verify a factual error, we correct it. We may also add clarification when accurate wording could still mislead readers or omit important context.

Responsible use

Folio HR provides general information and research starting points. It is not a substitute for legal, tax, payroll, benefits, compliance, or other professional advice. Readers should check current official requirements and consult qualified professionals for decisions that depend on their location or circumstances.
