What it does

This skill lets an AI assistant record a new employee leave (such as FMLA, state leave, USERRA, or an ADA accommodation) in a local YAML register file. It asks a short set of questions about the leave, looks up the entitlement for the relevant jurisdiction in a configuration file, and calculates the first upcoming deadline, such as when a designation notice is due. It then confirms what was logged and says a leave tracker will alert on deadlines.

Great for

  • HR or employment staff who need to track leave deadlines without a dedicated system
  • Legal or HR teams already using the claude-for-legal employment plugin with its configuration files set up
  • People who want a quick, structured intake for new leave cases

Skip it if

  • Final legal advice on leave eligibility or deadlines: the skill relies on a jurisdiction table the user maintains, which may be incomplete or out of date, so a lawyer should verify it
  • Employees or non-HR users looking for personal leave rights guidance, since the skill is a record-keeping tool for employers
  • Situations where sensitive medical details must stay out of AI tools, since the questions touch on health conditions and certification

Try asking

  • “/employment-legal:log-leave Sarah (Sr. Engineer, works in California) just started FMLA today for a serious health condition. Intermittent. No designation sent yet.”
  • “Log a new USERRA military leave for a warehouse employee in Texas starting next Monday”
  • “Add an ADA accommodation leave for a team lead in New York, designation and medical certification already sent last week”

Get better results

  • Use anonymized names or role labels, as the skill itself suggests, to limit personal data in the register file
  • Check the jurisdiction table in your CLAUDE.md is current before relying on computed deadlines
  • Confirm the calculated deadline against the actual statute, since the skill applies simple rules such as 5 business days and 15 days
