From leave policy to a decision you can defend
LEAN applies state and employer rules to the facts you have, calculates entitlement and pay, and records the sources and reasoning behind the result.

Weekly entitlement
Audit the math, skip the spreadsheet
Open the weekly breakdown: wage history, lookback, rate tiers, and payer offsets. The same Why that explains status also explains amount.
Stacked PFML, STD, and employer top-up is one weekly result. Open why to see each line, not a cell in a shared workbook.
- Incomplete lookback If the wage window is short or a fact is missing, the week holds instead of inventing a rate.
- Zero earnings vs missing A sabbatical quarter with no pay is not the same as a quarter nobody loaded. The engine keeps them apart.
- Offsets, itemized State PFML, short-term disability, and employer-paid leave are calculated together and shown as separate lines.
LEAN computes gross entitlement and gives you the report necessary to run the correct payroll.
