Presagia Launches Web-Based Employee Leave Solution With Automated FMLA Workflow

MONTREAL, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Presagia, an innovator of web-based software
solutions for integrated absence & disability management, today announced the
launch of "Presagia AtWork - Leave Management", the latest in Presagia's suite
of integrated absence and disability solutions. This new technology delivers
FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) workflow automation and decision support,
and includes recently updated model U.S. Department of Labor FMLA forms as
well as template letters and forms designed by national workplace law firm
Jackson Lewis LLP. Employers and leave service vendors using this solution
can efficiently administer employee leave while closely tracking and
communicating critical leave information needed to identify and respond to
potential leave abuses impacting employee absence and productivity.

Best-practice leave management can improve legal compliance, reduce absence,
lower workforce costs and increase productivity. However, a lack of viable
technology solutions has prevented the majority of employers from realizing
these benefits and forced them to rely on antiquated systems lacking the
sophistication needed to properly manage complex leave policies. Recently
revised FMLA rules further highlight this technology gap. Many employers
simply do not have the resources to update and implement leave management
processes and systems to meet these changes. Presagia addresses this, having
configured leave management rules in its all-in-one leave solution to provide
employers with workflow automation and decision support to manage FMLA in
coordination with other types of mandated or voluntarily provided company
leave.

Presagia's CEO, David Glickman states, "Our goal has been to develop a system
that addresses specific employer pain points like FMLA while keeping in mind
the big picture; integrated management of all employee leaves to enhance
operational efficiency and to maximize savings of cost and time."

With input from Jackson Lewis attorneys specializing in FMLA compliance,
Presagia develops and updates the rules and document templates driving leave
workflows, alerts, reminders and correspondence to support companies' efforts
to adhere to their best-practice leave processes.

"With traditional leave systems it can take weeks to determine an employee's
eligibility," explains Nicola Boyd, Product Director for Presagia AtWork. "By
centrally capturing all of this information in real-time and interfacing with
other Human Resources Information Systems, leave managers can use our system
to make instant eligibility determinations and send off auto-populated
certification documents, employees can login to check leave balances,
supervisors can see which of their employees are going on leave, and so on -
this is a win-win solution for all."

While Presagia AtWork's support for the revised FMLA rules is surely an asset
for US employers, its greatest benefit is the capability to integrate leave
management with other absence management programs like Return-to-Work. This
enables employers to proactively refer at-risk cases to the appropriate
absence management programs to better address potential high-cost cases.

Next up for Presagia AtWork - Leave Management: closing the gap between
employee leave and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Presagia will
soon deploy a powerful toolkit to facilitate an employer's assessment of
whether additional leave should be provided as a reasonable accommodation
under the ADA and other similar disability discrimination laws.
