The challenges you see with employee leave management don’t disappear as you scale. Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) who manage leave across hundreds (or thousands!) of employers have to navigate the same manual processes, fragmented systems, and compliance concerns.

Today, we're unveiling our solution to this industry-wide challenge: Cocoon for PEOs.

Our leave management solution for PEOs is designed to eliminate manual work, reduce complexity and risk, and deliver a seamless experience for every stakeholder involved—PEOs, their employer clients, and their client’s employees. Built on our proven leave management technology, Cocoon for PEOs adds the critical tools and functionality needed to manage leave at scale.

Why we built Cocoon for PEOs

In our conversations with PEO leaders across the country, we heard the same challenges again and again: "Leave management is monopolizing my team's time", "Our clients are confused and frustrated and so are their employees”, "We're worried about legal exposure with so many jurisdictions to manage", "There's no single source of truth across our multiple systems".

Traditional approaches to leave management simply weren't designed for the unique challenges PEOs face. We knew there had to be a better way—and we saw an opportunity to build on what we've already created for employers by adding the tools PEOs need to manage leave across multiple organizations simultaneously. And so Cocoon for PEOs came to life!

And we're already seeing traction—we've partnered with one of the nation's leading PEOs as our first client. They share our vision for modern, scalable leave management that serves every stakeholder and this implementation represents a major step forward to modernize leave management for PEOs. We’re also in discussion with several other major PEOs to implement Cocoon for PEOs—a clear signal that the industry is ready for a technology-powered solution to this persistent challenge.

Finally, automated leave management for PEOs

Cocoon for PEOs is a centralized, automated leave management platform that scales with you—and gives you the power to serve your clients with clarity, consistency, and confidence. Let Cocoon’s software handle everything from employee leave planning, to leave management including compliance, all the way through assisting employees with state and private insurance claims, and calculating payroll during leave. 

Our solution is designed with multi-employer operations in mind:

• Multi-employer management: Seamlessly toggle between employer profiles to streamline workflows
• Full leave lifecycle control: Act on behalf of employees and employer admins when needed
• Comprehensive audit trails: Access a log of every action taken on a leave for record keeping
• Bulk implementation: Onboard clients at scale drastically reducing implementation time

And while you gain advanced tools and controls, your clients and their employees still experience Cocoon’s trusted, intuitive leave platform—the same one they know and love.

Why Cocoon is the complete leave management solution for PEOs

This creates a single source of truth that improves visibility, reduces administrative burden, and increases client satisfaction. Ours is the first platform to bring clarity, compliance, and scale into one unified experience for PEOs.
