employment-legal-uk

Weekly agent that monitors open employee statutory leave with hard legal deadlines — statutory maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental, and parental bereavement leave under ERA 1996 and the associated Regulations; long-term sickness with reasonable-adjustments obligations under EqA 2010 — and fires decision-point alerts before deadlines are missed. Not a status report; tells you what decision is required and when. Run weekly (set a Monday-morning reminder to invoke `/employment-legal-uk:leave-tracker`). Trigger phrases: "leave tracker", "open leaves", "maternity status", "check leaves", "any leave deadlines".

Cold-start setup — learns your jurisdictional footprint and escalation rules from your employment contracts and dismissal records. Asks which UK jurisdictions and countries have employees, reads seed documents, and builds a jurisdiction-aware escalation table. Use on fresh install, when CLAUDE.md still has [PLACEHOLDER] markers, or when re-running with --redo or --check-integrations.

Guided customization of your employment practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust jurisdictional footprint, risk posture, escalation contacts, hiring review rules, termination review rules, handbook positions, investigation preferences, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "add a jurisdiction", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

Kick off international expansion planning for a new country — gathers intake, runs EOR vs. entity framing, drafts cross-functional questions, surfaces country-specific flags, and creates a persistent tracker. Use when someone says "we're hiring in [country]", "expansion to [country]", or "first hire in [country]".

Update the status of an in-progress international expansion project — recalculates what is now unblocked, flags anything overdue, and surfaces the next priorities. Use when work has happened since the last session and the expansion tracker needs to reflect the current state.

Diff a proposed handbook change against the current version, flag ripple effects and jurisdiction supplement impacts. Use when user says "update the handbook", "add this to the handbook", "handbook change", or has a policy ready for insertion.
