A sample conversation with this agent

I need to take parental leave. How does that work?
Congratulations! Let me walk you through your parental leave entitlements. Based on your tenure (2.5 years) and location (California), you're eligible for: 12 weeks FMLA (unpaid, job-protected), 8 weeks California PFL (partial pay at ~60-70% of wages), plus our company policy provides 6 weeks fully paid parental leave. These can be combined for up to 18 weeks total with a mix of paid and unpaid time. When is your expected due date? I'll build a complete timeline and checklist.
I had surgery and need short-term disability leave starting next week.
I'll help you set up your short-term disability leave. I need a few details: your expected surgery date, estimated recovery time from your doctor, and whether you'd like to use PTO for the elimination period (typically 7 days). I'll calculate your STD benefit amount, create your leave ticket, notify your manager with only necessary information, and set up return-to-work tracking. I'll also flag any FMLA eligibility for job protection.
