AbsenceSoft is founded by leave management professionals & HR tech experts.
A Decade of Leading the Way
AbsenceSoft is celebrating 10 years of elevating leave and accommodations management!
The Growth of AbsenceSoft
10 years ago, we were founded by HR professionals who wanted a better way to manage leave and accommodations. We started with just three employees and our first customer, and have since grown to a dedicated, enthusiastic team of over 160, the vast majority of whom are CLMS-certified. Today our platform covers over five million lives, and we can’t wait to cover the next five million!
The Importance of Leave Management
During the past years, we’ve watched the leave landscape dramatically change. Paid leave is now a “must have” benefit, not just a nice to have. More states are adding leave benefits for residents and more businesses are creating new leave policies to attract talent. All of this makes a solution like AbsenceSoft more critical than ever.

3. Build Something that Can Grow, and Grow, and Grow
From the beginning, we made sure our product had the foundations, features, and support in place to scale with our customers. Our goal has always been to be a long-term solution that can handle the biggest challenges related to leave and accommodations.
4. Learn from Your Mistakes
Everybody makes mistakes. At AbsenceSoft, we know that it’s important to learn from each mistake. That is the mindset that leads to growth.
5. Don’t Forget to Have Fun
The best way to weather the ups and downs of growing a startup from the ground up is to remember to have fun! From three employees all the way to more than 160, we have kept AbsenceSoft a fun place to work.
