Bottom line

Pulpstream automates US leave workflows for FMLA, ADA and more than 13 state paid leave programs, and says the 2026 Minnesota and Delaware program changes reached customers automatically. Pricing is a demo quote.

Stands out for: An AI recommendation engine suggests leave decisions from regulations and company policy, and intermittent leave is tracked in hours. The leave page shows logos for Workday, UKG, ADP, Dayforce, and others.

Watch out for: Pulpstream is also a risk and case workflow platform, so leave is the lead offer on the leave page but not the only module. There is no public price.

Overview

Pulpstream's leave product tracks federal and state leave, including FMLA, ADA, and more than 13 state paid leave programs, with intermittent certifications and hour tracking. The vendor says designation letters can be generated for the jurisdictions that apply, and that Minnesota and Delaware paid leave updates in January 2026 were pushed to customers.

The leave page shows connections to Workday, Dayforce, UKG, ADP, SAP, Paylocity, iSolved, and Kronos, by API or SFTP. An AI recommendation engine is described as analyzing regulations and company policies. The company was founded in 2013. Buyers request a demo. No price is published.
