What it means

Linking it to FMLA administration, case management and return-to-work keeps leave, restrictions and clearances in one coordinated view instead of scattered emails.

Frequently asked

What does absence management track?

Leave requests, intermittent leave, eligibility and approvals — and the communication among employee, clinician, manager and HR. Centralizing it replaces scattered emails with one coordinated view.

How does absence management relate to FMLA?

FMLA leave is one of the main things it administers, alongside case management and return-to-work. Keeping leave, restrictions and clearances together keeps everyone working from the same status.
