See What Manual Leave Tracking Is Really Costing You
Every LOA, intermittent, and ADA case your team still tracks by hand carries a cost you can name: hours buried in paperwork, and exposure that grows every time a case sits without a clean audit trail.
Answer seven quick questions about how your team handles cases today. We'll turn your numbers into a real total, broken out by where the cost is actually coming from.
The Value the Model Doesn't Price
The math above only prices labor. It leaves out what a spreadsheet can't show: how employees experience the process while they're living it, and how exposed you are the moment a state law changes underneath you.
Paper elimination speeds up case throughput, and the impact scales directly with your hourly rate and case volume.
Document retrieval used to mean digging through folders, but now takes seconds. Compliance steps run automatically in the background, and reporting doesn't eat up a full day of your month.
Time back for every staff member on your case team, from audit review to status updates.

Paper-reduction and digital-efficiency inputs are based on Pulpstream case data and a Ricoh study on the cost of paper-based processes.

Before You Run the Numbers
Default inputs are based on Pulpstream case data and a Ricoh study on paper-based process costs. They represent a mid-market employer running a mix of LOA, intermittent, and ADA cases.
If your team is already digital, the paper-reduction savings (Reduced Cost line) no longer apply. The efficiency, retrieval, automation, and compliance savings still apply regardless of your current workflow.
Burdened cost includes base salary, benefits, payroll taxes, and overhead, typically 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary. For example, a $55,000 salary translates to roughly $65 to $75 per hour burdened.
No. It gives you a directional estimate to bring into that conversation. A Pulpstream specialist will size this against your actual case volume and show you the workflow behind every line item.
