Aqui trata-se de fazer um apanhado geral da informação mas de modo conciso, daí "brief", ou seja, cobre os pontos principais sobre os direitos e responsabilidades dos trabalhadores.

Por exemplo, quando se diz "The Secretary of State briefed the President on the memo", significa que o Presidente foi informado sucintamente dos pontos principais do memorando.
