Cocoon, a leader in employee leave software, today announced novel advances in its technology that enable employees and businesses with everything they need to streamline the claims process and capitalize on all available benefits. Cocoon’s latest software makes claims fast and easy, removing stress from the highly complex leave process.

New employee leave platform, Cocoon, publicly launched today with the first full-suite software solution to completely eliminate the heavy lift from complex leave processes employers and employees are subject to today. The Cocoon platform is designed to address every type of employee leave (i.e. parental, medical, caregiver, bereavement or any other type) across all 50 states, handling everything from compliance to claims management to payroll calculations. It factors in state, federal, company and insurance benefits accordingly to demystify, simplify and streamline the leave experience for both employees and HR teams. By doing so, Cocoon empowers companies to better support their team members and alleviates the stress that employees feel around taking time off to deal with often unexpected life changes, such as managing a serious health condition or taking care of a sick family member.
