What is Absence Management?

Absence management is an intuitive approach to managing employee absenteeism due to sick leave, annual leave, maternity or paternity leave, jury duty, short-term and long-term disability, or unforeseen circumstances. Changes in federal and state leave laws mean that businesses need to be up to date with legislation and ensure compliance. With FINEOS Absence management software, businesses can simplify processes, disability claims, and accommodations as well as provide assistance to those returning to work.
