The most helpful feature is the information populated for state leaves. We have colleagues all over the US and it’s nice to have all of the legal updates built in so that we don’t have to check every time we process a leave. I like that it prompts us to think about benefits as well. Senior Leave of Absence Administrator | Staffing and Recruiting, 10,000+ employees
