Why people look past FINEOS Absence for Employers

FINEOS also sells claims software to insurers. This employer product is a separate offer, but buyers should confirm they are not being sold a carrier implementation. There is no public price.

What we noted

  • No public price, sold by demo
  • No HRIS names on the employer product page
  • The brand is still best known for insurer claims software

Not the right fit for

  • Employers outside the United States
  • Companies that only need a PTO or sick balance tracker

Worth keeping in mind: Employers can buy absence only, or absence with disability, or absence with disability and accommodations. The March 2024 launch named a convenience chain of more than 30,000 employees and an insurer employer of more than 41,000 employees.

What each one does differently

LeavePro

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: LeavePro is Alight's enterprise leave software, with co sourcing options on the same system.

Stands out: Employers can run it themselves or co source, and Alight says both paths are tracked in LeavePro. A 2025 Worklife release describes an API integration between LeavePro and Workday.

Watch out: ReedGroup, the absence business behind LeavePro, has been part of Alight since 6 December 2022. The page is written for large US employers, and there is no public price.

Best for

  • US employers above 2,000 people with an internal leave team
  • Programs that want software now and outsourcing only for some case types
  • Workday customers that can use the LeavePro integration

Tilt

$2.50/employee/mo

Why it comes up: Tilt publishes pricing from $2.50 per employee a month for employers that do not need disability claims.

Stands out: AbsenceIQ is the vendor leave intelligence system, and Tilley is an AI phone assistant sold as a paid add on. Essentials lists all leave types and state PFML programs.

Watch out: Add ons change the headline price: integrations, premium support and the Tilley phone assistant are extra on Essentials, and adding premium support brings a $5,995 minimum contract. Coverage is US federal, state and company leave only.

Best for

  • US employers that want HR to run FMLA, ADA, and state paid leave in house
  • Teams that want payroll facing leave math on the Professional plan
  • Companies already on Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, Paycor, or Paylocity

AbsenceSoft

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: AbsenceSoft covers 200+ leave and accommodation laws and publishes a REST API.

Stands out: The AbsenceSoft Compliance Engine tracks 200+ federal and state leave and accommodation laws and stacks concurrent leaves, and the Payroll Calculations module applies state paid leave offsets per pay period. The API is publicly documented in OpenAPI 3.1 at absencesoft.stoplight.io, with Employee, Case, Employer and Communications APIs and webhooks.

Watch out: There is no public price, and custom outbound file feeds and API build work cost extra. Payroll Calculations produces estimates and export files, not payments, so payroll still runs in your own system.

Best for

  • US employers with high leave and accommodation caseloads
  • HR teams moving FMLA and ADA work off spreadsheets
  • TPAs and PEOs administering leave for many employers

Sedgwick LeaveLink

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Sedgwick LeaveLink pairs in house leave software with ADALink for accommodations.

Stands out: LeaveLink is sold as SaaS separate from Sedgwick's outsourced absence book, including an employee and manager portal and premium tracking while someone is on leave.

Watch out: Sedgwick is also a large disability and leave administrator. Confirm the contract is the enterprise software edition, not a bundled claims service. No price is published.

Best for

  • Large US employers that want the case system without outsourcing every leave
  • Teams that track ADA accommodations in ADALink next to LeaveLink
  • Programs that need employees and managers to file and check status online
