The premise
RIF documentation must be defensible against later claims. AI accelerates drafting and analysis; employment counsel owns every decision.
What AI does well here
- Draft RIF notification letters with required statutory disclosures (e.g., OWBPA)
- Generate disparate-impact analysis tables from anonymized selection data
- Compile decisional unit definitions and rationale documents
- Draft manager talking-points scripts for notification meetings
What AI cannot do
- Decide who is selected
- Validate selection criteria are job-related and consistent
- Conduct the actual notification meetings
- Replace counsel review of every disclosure document
