- Offering Pairs Presagia Corp’s Technology With Sun Life’s Absence Expertise
Sun Life U.S. has expanded its absence management offerings to meet the needs of employers who want support in meeting absence compliance obligations but are currently better suited to self-administer. Sun Life AbsenceTech Bundle provides support from Sun Life experts, paired with Presagia’s Leave Genius Pro, a powerful self-administration absence technology platform that simplifies compliance with leave regulations.
“The absence management needs of employers can truly vary depending on size, industry, and bandwidth of HR teams, so we are creating solutions to meet them where they are,” said Sheila Sokolski, head of Life, Absence and Disability Product and Marketing for Sun Life U.S. “Employers are not always suited to either a fully self-administered or fully outsourced solution. We are enhancing and expanding our absence offerings to make sure we address the unique needs and goals of all of our employer clients.”

Sun Life AbsenceTech Bundle offers employers the people support typically provided by an outsourced solution, but with the capability to still manage absences in-house, a balance that makes more sense for employers with fewer employee leaves. Employers also have access to Sun Life Accommodation Consultants who facilitate the interactive process for employee ADA accommodations, which allow a disabled employee to continue working.
As the digital component, Leave Genius Pro is included within the AbsenceTech Bundle, enabling employers to self-administer absence in compliance with federal, state, and local leave laws. Employers can track employee absences and receive auto-generated regulatory leave forms, notices, eligibility information and employee coverage calculations, taking the guesswork out of absence compliance. There are no file feeds, no implementation, and getting started is quick and easy.
“We are thrilled to partner with Sun Life, as they share our commitment to helping employers simplify absence management so that they can focus on employees and growing their business,” said René Beaudoin, CEO of Presagia. “Our easy-to-use platform helps ease administrative burdens and strengthens compliance with leave laws to yield immediate results for HR. We look forward to supporting more employers with our technology and Sun Life’s in-depth expertise.”

The new offering complements the Sun Life Absence Management Solution, which was launched in January, and provides larger and multi-state employers with one system that integrates federal/FMLA, state, local and company-specific leave plans with short-term disability, statutory disability, and paid family and medical leave (PFML). The solution development teams leverage real employer client insights and feedback to influence design and meet employers wherever they are relative to absence experience.
“It is essential for employers of all sizes to have options for managing employee leaves of absence, including the process of employee accommodations,” said Kimberly Mashburn, National Absence Practice Lead for Sun Life U.S. “Our new solution provides a cost-effective and efficient way for employers to feel confident in their decisions as they manage the complexities of leave and ADA laws.”
Sun Life AbsenceTech Bundle is now available to all employers with 100+ employees, with effective dates starting 1/1/2022. Services do not include legal advice. Employers are encouraged to seek legal counsel as needed.
