SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents missed statutory leave deadlines by creating a leave-tracker entry with the minimum details needed to start monitoring key notification, response, return-date, and adjustment deadlines from day one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Logs a new statutory leave entry to the employment leave register, creating the register file if it does not exist.
  • Asks for the full set of setup inputs in one go (employee/role, jurisdiction, leave type, start date, notification date, expected return date when known, and leave-type specifics like ShPL weeks or long-term sickness OH/adjustments status).
  • Computes the first upcoming deadline based on the jurisdiction-informed rules and what notifications/responses have or have not occurred.
  • Use case: An HR team needs to begin tracking statutory maternity leave deadlines immediately after the statutory notification is received, including the employer response window and any return/adjustment-related alerts.

Quick Start

Use /employment-legal-uk:log-leave and provide the employee (or anonymised role), jurisdiction, leave type, start date, notification date, expected return date (if known), and any ShPL or long-term sickness details.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start tracking statutory leave deadlines in the UK?

You can track shared parental leave by providing the employee, jurisdiction, leave type, start date, notification date, and ShPL weeks to log the entry and compute the first upcoming deadline deterministically.

Does statutory leave tracking work for long-term sickness and maternity leave?

Statutory leave tracking supports maternity, paternity, shared parental, adoption, parental bereavement, and long-term sickness scenarios by applying jurisdiction-aware rules to compute notification, response, and return-date deadlines.

What format is used to log employment leave entries?

Employment leave entries are written as correctly formatted YAML to the leave-register.yaml file, which the logging process creates automatically if the file does not already exist in your environment.

How do I calculate the first upcoming statutory leave deadline after notification?

The first upcoming statutory leave deadline is computed deterministically based on jurisdiction-informed rules and the notification, response, and return-date inputs you provide when logging the YAML entry.

Do I need a specific jurisdiction table to track employment compliance deadlines?

You need to read the jurisdiction table and Systems section from CLAUDE.md before logging leave, as the deadline tracking rules are jurisdiction-aware and require this setup data to compute accurate notification and response windows.
