Absence management

The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)—along with various similar state-mandated leave programs—provide valuable job protection for employees. But the administrative burden of utilization presents a challenge for businesses in a world where doing more with less is standard operating procedure.

At Symetra, we handle everything from tracking time away to determining which employees qualify for various types of leave, helping to reduce the impact to your HR team.

Our comprehensive absence management program (PDF) is offered to Symetra disability policyholders with 200+ employees. Services include:

  • Down-to-the-minute tracking of intermittent leaves.
  • A single intake process for integrated family and medical leave (FML) and short-term disability claims.
  • Consolidated reporting of all leaves (not multiple reports for each leave type).
  • Coordination with Symetra disability products.
  • Return‐to‐work resources, including vocational rehabilitation and worksite modification.
