The Compounding Caseload: What 1,200 HR Leaders Told Us About Leave and Accommodations in 2026

See Where Your Program Is Exposed, Before a Complaint Does

For the third year in a row, more than half of HR leaders report rising leave and accommodations requests, with cumulative volume up more than 120% over three years.

Most teams are still managing that growth with the same headcount, manual spreadsheets, and now, unsanctioned AI tools making eligibility decisions no one signed off on.

This report shares what 1,200 HR leaders told us about where their programs are exposed and what it will take to keep up in 2026.

With this report:

  • See how leave and accommodations volume has shifted over the past three years
  • Understand why injury recovery, bereavement, and caregiving are reshaping the reasons employees take leave
  • Uncover how AI is already influencing leave and accommodations decisions, often without oversight
  • Learn why remote work has become the top requested job accommodation
  • Identify where your program is most exposed to compliance risk

The caseload isn’t slowing down, and neither is the risk of managing it by hand. This report gives you the data to build a program that protects your people and your compliance record.
