Safe use
02
Planning estimate only
This planner calculates a schedule from the dates and durations you enter. It does not determine eligibility, paid benefits, legal deadlines, leave entitlement, or employer approval.
03
Check source guidance too
Treat the chosen leave length, request lead time, and transition period as planning inputs, not legal requirements. Verify current official local guidance and employer requirements, and discuss your planned dates with your employer.
04
Before relying on the dates
Generated dates do not guarantee eligibility, benefits, approval, or compliance with local rules. Confirm the applicable requirements with current official local guidance and your employer.
