    Our AI recommendation engine analyzes regulations and company policies to suggest accurate leave decisions.

    From-Hours-to-Minutes

    Core Feature

    From Hours to Minutes with Advanced Automation

    Manual leave administration averages 7-8 hours per case. With Pulpstream's intelligent automation, that drops to 1.75-2 hours—a 60-75% reduction. Organizations processing 40 cases monthly save over $72,000 annually while improving compliance and employee satisfaction.

    How Automation Delivers Time Savings:

    • AI-powered recommendations analyze state and federal regulations plus your company policies to suggest accurate leave decisions—with regulatory citations to support them.

    • Return-to-work automation kicks off 7 days before leave ends with employee reminders, manager notifications, and systematic transition coordination.

    • Automatic eligibility calculations detect which jurisdictions apply, calculate concurrent leaves correctly, and identify overlapping benefits without manual research.

    • Multi-state handling manages employees across jurisdictions without requiring HR to become 50-state compliance experts.

    Why Growing Organizations Choose Pulpstream

    Customizable Without IT Resources

    Build workflows that match your specific policies rather than forcing you to change how your business works. No programming required—HR configures leave plans, forms, email templates, and approval processes through intuitive interfaces.

    Always Current on Regulatory Changes

    When Minnesota and Delaware launched new paid leave programs in January 2026, our customers got those updates automatically. Stay compliant without monitoring 50 state legislatures or researching regulatory changes yourself.

    Right-Sized Pricing for Growing Organizations

    Enterprise-grade functionality without enterprise pricing. Organizations processing 20-30 cases monthly see ROI within 6-12 months through time savings alone—before factoring in compliance risk reduction and employee experience improvements.
