Are you using a time reporting system? an HR system? spreadsheet? an Access database? or is there a specific tool that is tracking FMLA for you?
TIA

I am actually looking for a FMLA tracking program. We are currently using Peoplesoft for payroll and benefit administration. We are having problems tracking LOA and FMLA. What software would you recommend?

I don't know who to recommend. One company that contacted me was Intellisys; they have a software application: Nextrak 5 for absence and leave automation. We are using spreadsheets but hoping to leverage a new time system next year for better tracking.

I've implemented and used PeopleSoft for FMLA tracking and I agree, it has challenges, but I've always found the reason is not the system but the process. Once it was implemented with Time & Labor (or T&A), when Benefits got involved and trained managers on what leave types are and employees started recording events, a lot of the problems went away. It's still an issue with intermittent leave, but I don't know an easy solution to that other than having benefits analysts being closer to the employee. My experience has always been that the 80/20 rule applies in all things, so if you look at the majority of your FMLA cases and what will work to manage them, the other 20% can be more easily managed as the exceptions they really are. Streamlining your processses and leveraging best practices will go a long way in resolving your challenges.
