## Use Cases

### Handling an end-of-year audit
The CFO needs to prepare for a payroll audit. Instead of manually gathering individual records, they ask their agent to use `summarize_workforce_provisions`. The resulting report instantly provides the total company liability and flags any departments with significant compliance gaps.

### Onboarding a new team
The HR Manager has just hired five people. They need to calculate the immediate vacation provision for each person using `calculate_vacation_liability`. This ensures the initial payroll setup is 100% compliant from day one.

### Identifying high-risk employees
A team lead suspects several senior staff haven't updated their leave records. They run `check_entitlement_status` on those profiles to quickly pinpoint exactly which periods are 'warning' or 'expired,' allowing them to follow up immediately.

### Preparing for quarterly financials
The Finance Analyst needs a single number for the quarter’s provision expense. They use `summarize_workforce_provisions` to get an aggregated, reliable figure that feeds directly into the financial model.
