Caregiver leave 

Show caregivers you have their back

Caregiver leaves may not be common, but they can be stressful for everyone involved. Let Cocoon take on the heavy lifting for compliance, leave planning, claims, and pay. 

Let software handle FMLA and caregiver leave law compliance

Little known fact: there are 21 state caregiver leave laws (and counting). Cocoon automates compliance with FMLA, state laws, and your policies to save you hours—and legal risk.

Support caregivers when they need it most

Many people don’t even know caregiver leave exists under FMLA. Cocoon makes sure your team knows their options and can privately plan a compliant leave within minutes. No late night Googling or long intake call required.

Caregiver leave claims—without the confusion

Cocoon instantly identifies state or insurance benefits employees are eligible for, and empowers employees with customized dashboards and “Claims Copilots” to guide them through each one.

Automate caregiver leave pay calculations 

Cocoon’s software calculates any pay you owe employees based on their available benefits and your policies, while our dynamic Pay Trackers help employees and Admins track pay across sources and pay periods.

Transforming both the Admin and employee leave experiences with Cocoon 

“Every single leave taker has said it was so straightforward and intuitive. They love the support from Cocoon’s team. For us on the Benefits team, there’s been a significant reduction in the administrative burden.

FAQs

If employees plan leaves in private, how do you make sure they comply with our company policies?

Great question. During onboarding, you’ll work with our Onboarding Specialist to input your leave policies into our system. This includes parameters like tenure requirements, time available, pay, insurance plan, and more. When employees plan a leave, they fill in certain personal information (other things like tenure and salary we know from your census data) and our software checks that against your policies plus FMLA and applicable state leave laws to calculate eligibility and show employees their options. The result is an efficient, consistent, and reliable leave planning process that ensures compliance.  

Do I have to offer paid caregiver leave to use Cocoon?

No, though we strongly encourage companies to implement a paid caregiver leave policy. Check our Paid leave cost analysis tool to quantify the benefits of offering paid caregiver leave.

Do you handle FMLA and state caregiver leave law compliance in all states?

Yes! You can rely on us for caregiver leave compliance across all 50 states. With ever-changing leave laws and an increasingly distributed workforce, using software to handle compliance is becoming more critical than ever. 

Software is great for some things, but what about when my employees have questions or need help? 

We get it—planning and taking leave can be overwhelming, often during an already challenging time for people. That’s why our CLMS-certified Support Team is there to support employees every step of the way should they need it. Employees have unlimited access to our team via email or phone calls for more complex needs. And because our software handles the most complicated leave tasks like calculating eligibility or payroll, our Support Team members are there solely to help employees, resulting in our industry-leading average response time of just a few hours.
