It's a Phish

Answer explanation

The sender's email address is from your organization but could be spoofed.

From: HR <hr@yourorganization.com>

Stop and think! Does this policy comply with labor laws? Scammers will try to trick you by appealing to your emotions using sensitive topics.

For those of you who were unable to attend this morning's meeting, our CEO announced a change to our Sick Leave Policy. From now on, employees will have only 5 days of sick leave per year.

Be wary of attachments. If you know the sender, reach out to them personally using a phone number that you know is legitimate.
