Desks / Leave Compass
Leave & entitlements
Leave Compass — every leave, three clocks, one ledger.
One employee, one leave. The date pay changes is not the date the job is protected until, and neither is the date the premium duty ends. Counted in duty days, denominated in hours, cited on every row — produced now, not rebuilt after the dispute.
Building
Attorney review required. The reconciliation memo and the designation notice was drafted by the system from numbers the rules engine produced. It surfaces; a person elects.

Projection
“If she returns two weeks later, what changes, and when may we fill the position?”
Returns after 12 workweeks
Position must be held through protection; long-term sub only
Returns two weeks later
Protection lapses; reinstatement right shifts to § 44978.1 list; counsel elects
Exhausts differential (5 school months)
39-month reemployment list begins; position may be filled
No language model computed anything on this screen. The model only read the leave request into proposed facts a person confirmed; the rules engine produced every number, and counsel reviews every document. That sentence is the product.
