Same rules, a Why on every result
Review a decision without reconstructing the week. The source stays attached.
The same rules on every employee
Your team should not be the only copy of the rules. LEAN applies the program the same way, records the Why, and still has the trail when a specialist leaves.
What you are carrying
Leave is expensive even when nobody is “doing it wrong”
- Staff time on spreadsheets, research, and employee communication The leave team’s week is still assembled by hand across hire records, payroll files, and counsel notes.
- Uneven confidence in the decisions the team makes Two specialists can reach two answers. You find out when an employee or auditor asks.
- Leave experts come and go Institutional knowledge walks out. The next hire rebuilds the spreadsheet.
- Consistency across hundreds or thousands of employees State-law change and multi-site work make “how we usually do it” a risk, not a process.
- Compliance exposure There is no durable trail of what was known, which rule applied, and why pay was or was not due.
What LEAN changes
The engine applies the program. The team reviews it.
The determination is the product. Case tracking is not.
Specialists on exceptions
Eligibility and offsets are computed. The team handles what is held, disputed, or unusual.
Policy changes are testable
Draft, test on saved cases, approve, set the effective date. Earlier decisions stay with the version that made them.
