Here’s the only thing you need to know about this law: Don’t fire people for not coming to work when they run out of PTO until they’ve missed at least 4 days of work. That’s all it means.

Somewhere between two weeks and thirty years, it has to become something else.

When teams don’t plan for leave, the work gets spread across people already maxed out. That’s not “lean,” it’s a recipe for burnout.
