Best for HR teams of one
When one HR owner is tracking requests, dates, managers, uploaded files, and employee updates without a dedicated leave team.
FMLA Tracking Software
FMLA tracking software for small-business HR teams
Move FMLA work out of fragile spreadsheets and into a case workspace where leave requests, certification deadlines, rolling balances, documents, timeline notes, and reviewed updates stay connected.
FMLA case workspace
What stays connected
Request date, case owner, risk level, and next action
Eligibility review, certification due dates, and return-to-work planning
Uploaded forms, employee updates, manager notes, and audit timeline
Reviewed AI drafts that stay under HR approval
Best for recurring FMLA work
When the same workflow repeats: intake, eligibility review, certification, reminders, return-to-work planning, and closeout.
Best when risk is rising
When intermittent leave, missing paperwork, ADA overlap, or performance issues make the record harder to defend from memory.
Comparison
Spreadsheets vs generic tools vs AI SoloHR
| Area | Spreadsheet | Generic HR/task tool | AI SoloHR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave balance tracking | Manual formulas and copy-forward rows | Basic absence totals | FMLA case record with hours, dates, and next action |
| Certification follow-up | Separate calendar reminders | Task notes, often disconnected from documents | Task ownership tied to certification and case timeline |
| Intermittent leave | High formula and reconciliation risk | May track PTO-style absences only | Designed around protected leave documentation and review |
| Audit readiness | Requires rebuilding the story later | Activity may be split across tools | Timeline, files, notes, and reviewed drafts stay together |
| Product boundary | No guidance or review structure | Usually not HR-compliance specific | Workflow support with human review; not legal advice |
