Built for the people who take the calls
Every question an employee has — answered before they ask.
Blueprint hands your HR team a single, calm interface that replaces spreadsheets, PDFs and the folder of screenshots you keep pretending isn't a policy database.
Real-time edits, live results
Change an answer on the left, watch the chart update instantly. No re-running, no re-explaining.
Compliance you don't have to chase
Federal FMLA/USERRA and state paid & job-protected leaves — updated automatically. New laws land 6 months before they take effect.
Your policies, mapped in
Paid, unpaid, MLOA, personal, and PTO top-ups sit alongside statutory leave — so employees see one complete plan.
Continuous or intermittent
Plan a straight-through leave or an intermittent schedule with the same clarity and confidence.
At-a-glance summary
Three clean boxes: weeks, paid, protected — with a maximize button that tops the employee up to 100% of pay.
Next steps that actually happen
Turn any action into a reminder via email or text. Nothing gets dropped between conversations.
Replace the spreadsheets, PDFs, and screenshots with one interface your team can answer from.

Compliance, on autopilot
You shouldn't need a law degree to approve a leave request.
Blueprint monitors every jurisdiction, every year. When a new state paid or job-protected leave passes, it's already in your tool six months before it takes effect — with annual updates to min/max amounts each fall. You don't file a ticket. You don't track legislative updates manually. It just works.
- Federal FMLA & USERRA baked in
- All 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico — paid and job-protected
- New laws added 6 months before effective dates
- Annual state law refresh every fall (mins, maxes, waiting periods)
- Descriptions link out to DOL and state agency source pages
Stop tracking legislation manually. See how every new leave law lands in your tool six months early.
