# /log-leave

Adds a new leave entry to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml` with the minimum
information needed to start tracking deadlines. Use when an employee goes on
leave and you want the tracker to watch the clocks from day one.

## Instructions

1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/CLAUDE.md` → jurisdiction table and Systems section.

2. Ask all of the following in a single prompt — do not drip them one at a time:

   > A few quick questions to set up leave tracking:
   >
   > - Employee name or role (anonymized is fine)
   > - Base territorial/CCT (município/sindicato — determines which collective-bargaining clauses apply, if any)
   > - Leave type: licença-maternidade (120 dias, CF art. 7º XVIII / 180 dias se empresa aderente ao Programa Empresa Cidadã, Lei 11.770/2008) / licença-paternidade (5 dias, CF art. 10 ADCT / 20 dias Empresa Cidadã) / auxílio-doença ou acidentário (empresa paga dias 1-15; INSS a partir do 16º dia) / licença para acompanhamento de dependente / outra (especificar)
   > - Leave start date
   > - É afastamento intermitente ou contínuo?
   > - Expected return date (if known — leave blank if not)
   > - Atestado médico recebido? Se sim, quando, e por quantos dias?
   > - Afastamento já comunicado ao eSocial/INSS (obrigatório a partir do 15º dia)? Se sim, quando?

   Note the structural difference up front if not already obvious to the user: Brazil's leave regime is federal and statute-driven (CLT + Lei 11.770/2008 + benefícios INSS) — there is no jurisdiction lookup by state as under FMLA/US state leave; entitlement is fixed by leave type, and by day-count for illness leave.

3. Determine which regime governs and for how long, based on leave type:
   - Licença-maternidade/paternidade: fixed statutory duration (120/180 or 5/20 dias) — no case-by-case entitlement lookup needed.
   - Auxílio-doença/acidentário: employer pays days 1-15 (salário integral); INSS pays from day 16 if perícia médica confirms incapacity beyond that.
   - Other CLT-specific leaves (nojo, gala, doação de sangue etc.) — duration under CLT art. 473 `[model knowledge — verify]`.

4. Compute the first upcoming deadline based on the information provided:
   - Illness leave approaching day 15, no eSocial/INSS communication yet → deadline is submitting the afastamento before day 15 ends (closes employer's paid-leave window)
   - Atestado received but perícia médica (INSS) not yet scheduled → flag as next action
   - Maternity leave already running → next checkpoint is the return date and the estabilidade provisória window (CF art. 10 ADCT — until 5 months after childbirth)

5. Write a new entry to `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/employment-legal/leave-register.yaml` using the leave register
   format from the leave-tracker agent. If the file doesn't exist, create it.

6. Confirm with a single line:
   > "Logged. [Employee/Role] — [Leave type] — [Base territorial/CCT] — started [date].
   > First deadline: [what it is and when]. Leave tracker will alert automatically."
