# Focus on people, not paperwork

Leave management software that automates the complexities of compliance, claims, and payroll for People teams and their employees.

## Cocoon vs. traditional leave providers

Traditional leave management solutions are still stuck in paper claims, call centers, and painstaking manual processes. Cocoon is redefining leave management with first-of-its-kind technology that ensures accuracy, removes bottlenecks, and preserves employee privacy.

|  | **Cocoon** | **Traditional leave management** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Employee leave planning | Employees log in to Cocoon any time to privately plan a leave in <10 minutes and share when they are ready | Employees notify HR and have an intake call with a rep from the provider just to explore options |
| Eligibility determinations | Proprietary rules algorithm codifies federal and state laws with your company policies and auto-sends compliance notices | Humans must intake 20+ data points to manually determine eligibility and send relevant notices |
| Private disability claims | Cocoon files claims and guides employees through getting medical certification from their physician | Employees navigate claims on their own, or a rep files claims and contacts their physician for health data |
| State claims | Employees file claims with the help of Cocoon’s step-by-step guide and form-filling automation tools | Employees give a rep power of attorney to file on their behalf using their PII, or navigate claims on their own |
| Support model | CLMS-certified Support team available by email and phone when employees need assistance | Employees are randomly assigned one representative they must contact to access info or update their plan |
| Payroll calculations | Automated with software | Done manually in spreadsheets |
| Integrations | API integrations to pull census data from Workday, Gusto, Zenefits, Paylocity, BambooHR, Namely, and more | Manually upload census files, risking out of date information calculating eligibility and pay |
| Employer visibility and reporting | Admin Dashboard with details into all leaves, employee pay and claims status, and trends reporting | Limited visibility into employee leave, pay, or claims information — Admins rely on reps to provide info |

## Night and day: Leave with and without Cocoon

Sequoia Consulting Group employee Stacey Lim has taken two leaves in two different states, one with Cocoon, and one without — something that makes her a bit of an expert on the topic, having lived it from various perspectives.
