- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
A trial date is set by a court. Nobody negotiates it. The audit filing deadline arrives whether or not headcount was approved last quarter. Some work comes in surges no roster can smooth, and the people who stay through them are the reason the thing ships. Treating that as a defect erases real effort, and it insults the person who chose to stay.
