# clsWorkRelease

`clsWorkRelease` represents an effective-dated work-release entry for a claim, with validation against injury and leave-work timelines.

## Purpose

- Enforce the work-release date, code, and sequencing rules surfaced by the public methods.

## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`

## Behavioral notes

- This type is documented from its source declaration.
- The type participates in the `clsBusinessBase` inheritance path used by `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`.

## Constraints and usage notes

- Consumers should rely on the public members and BOF lifecycle patterns visible in the source file.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
