🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A legal template generator for former employees to draft formal requests for pro-rated benefits based on employment duration.
- A platform that tracks and audits corporate benefit policies to help employees identify 'reimbursement-at-time-of-payment' traps before they are laid off.
- A policy advocacy initiative to mandate that employer-sponsored retirement reimbursements be pro-rated for the period of service rendered during the tax year.
