Move a leave question from intake to a documented eligibility decision, employee follow-up, or the right escalation path.

We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

Turn scattered leave details into a consistent review that catches missing facts, policy conflicts, deadlines, and issues that need legal or senior HR review.

Your answers save as you type.

What you'll do

This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

01 Open a private case record Start with the request, the date received, the requested leave period, and the minimum personal information needed for review.
02 Build the leave timeline Put every notice, absence, document, prior leave period, and deadline in date order.
03 Confirm the governing sources Gather the current policy, approved legal guidance, plan terms, contracts, and local rules that may control the review.
04 Check each eligibility condition Test the confirmed facts against every condition for each possible leave type.
05 Check overlapping protections Look for other leave, pay, accommodation, injury, pregnancy, military, contract, or local rules that could change the path.
06 Request only what's missing Turn unknown eligibility items into focused questions and record requests.
07 Set the case status Choose a supported status and stop the decision if a required fact or qualified review is missing.
08 Run the escalation check Check for legal uncertainty, conflicts, disputed facts, inconsistent treatment, retaliation concerns, and high-impact denials.
09 Send clear next steps Tell the employee what is known, what is pending, what is needed, and what happens next.
10 Close or track the case Record the reasoning, communication, ownership, deadlines, and next review date so the case doesn't stall.
