Strategic absence & ancillary benefits consulting
Planning the moments
where work meets life
We empower HR and Finance leaders with the insight to untangle and align complex leave, disability, and ancillary benefits, so the system actually works for your people and your business.
Helping people spend time where it matters
At PresentLeave, we help employers make sense of a leave and benefits landscape that was never designed to work together. Much like our lives, leave claims don’t happen in silos. We help reveal how in-house, mandated, insured, and ancillary programs overlap, conflict, and intersect. We bring the strategic guidance to help you align them into a system that works.
Well-intended changes can snowball into chaos.
Federal, state, and local mandates keep stacking, while employers add new benefits to stay competitive. Unfortunately, that results in a patchwork of leave programs that overlap, conflict, and create hidden compliance and cost issues.
Spreadsheets aren’t a leave strategy.
Too many HR teams are stuck manually tracking dates, reconciling errors, and juggling several unsynchronized vendors for each claim. The drain on time and resources leaves little room for strategic work and mistakes happen, which can become costly.
Your leave programs weren’t built to work together.
From PTO and FMLA to disability, PFML, and supplemental health, most employers run programs in silos. Without alignment, processes break, unintended consequences arise, and employees are left frustrated.
One mistake can put everything at risk.
Laws are changing fast, and inconsistent processes leave employers exposed. Without oversight and audit-ready systems, one complaint or audit can trigger significant financial and reputational damage.
Leave touches people at their most vulnerable moments.
Employees lose trust when claim resolutions are slow, communications are unclear, or policies are inconsistent. A poor leave experience impacts wellbeing and encourages disengagement and attrition.
Absence always has a price tag.
Poorly aligned programs drive up premiums, extend claims, and drain productivity. Without integrated design and oversight, employers quietly overspend while missing out on real savings opportunities.
Aligned by design,
not default.
We deliver clarity through five areas of focus:
Untangling policies and programs to close gaps and reduce conflict.
Aligning vendors, tech, and workflows to your real-world operations.
Driving awareness, access, and employee trust.
