pihmsLeave Management™ delivers a means to accurately and effectively manage employee leave from the initial request to the final Return to Work status. This solution brings together each essential component of successful absence management: Accurate tracking; Federal/State FML regulatory compliance; Company and union specific policy administration; Employee self-service capability; Return to Work processes; and wide-ranging data analysis functionality.
Standardized eligibility assessment process
The pre-built Federal & State FML requirements are integrated with your company’s specific leave policies into one comprehensive package, providing quick and easy to confirm eligibility determinations. pihmsLeave Management™ can also be configured to auto-adjudicate specific leave request types based on your criteria.
Reliably uniform FML administration
pihmsLeave Management™ will apply Federal, State and Company specific leaves concurrently (when applicable) and provide consistent application of policies, which reduces the exposure to possible legal fees and judgments.
Self-Service web portal access
Employees will be able to request leaves, receive and respond to required documentation and view the leave request status. Managers will be able to document leave requests on behalf of their direct reports as well as receive notification of and act on any tasks required by an employee’s leave request.
Streamlined gathering of FML required documentation and correspondence
Appropriate documentation is automatically provided to the employee and correspondence can be delivered via email or regular mail. All interactions (requests, approval status and correspondence) are retained for historical records.
Multiple methods for counting FML absences
pihmsLeave Management™ is capable of counting FML eligible absences by Calendar Year, Company Fiscal Year, a year starting on ‘anniversary’ of Employee start date, a year required by State law, or a ‘rolling’ 12 month period (forward or backwards) from the requested leave start date. Leaves with complicated intermittent circumstances are easily defined, tracked and managed.
Integrated Return to Work process
Utilizing the included pihmsJobLinks™ functionality allows your HR/Case Management Staff to compare restrictions issued by a medical provider with the employee’s physical work requirements. This enables an objective assessment of the percentage of work an employee can perform and facilitates the safest and earliest possible return to work and productivity.
Coordinate with other departments and external providers
Automated Data feeds to and from HRIS, payroll, TPAs, disability management and wellness program systems ensure that accurate information is delivered quickly to the appropriate stakeholders.
Comprehensive data analysis and customizable reporting
Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use, the included pihms Analytic Solutions™ let you see and analyze your FML and Company leave data in an entirely new way. You’ll receive up-to-the-minute insight into absence related productivity levels, costs and compliance across your entire organization.
Quick and easy to get started
The Implementation process is easy. Once employee demographics are loaded (via eligibility data file or active interface with your HR information system) and the Company/Union specific policies are defined, your team will receive the necessary training (in-person and web-based) to utilize pihmsLeave Management™ to the fullest extent.
Strong Post-Implementation Client Relationship
Once the pihmsLeave Management™ solution is live, the pihms client management team initiates regular reviews of usage patterns and end-user satisfaction. The client management team also provides technical support (phone and web-based), continuing education courses (live and web-based) and regular updates on software enhancements.
