What Qcera does

Qcera is a Los Angeles-based private software company founded in 2000 that develops and delivers LeaveSource, an enterprise SaaS platform for FMLA, state, employer policy, ADA/PWFA accommodation, disability, and workers' compensation leave and absence management. The platform is web-deployed and integrates with the dominant enterprise HRIS stack (Oracle, Workday, ADP, UKG, Dayforce, SAP, Microsoft, Lawson) and identity providers (Okta). Modular components include MyLeave Self-Service, Document Management, Disability Case Manager, Worker's Comp Case Manager, and Benefit Premium Payment, with an AI-powered 'Intelligent Leave Planner' module scheduled for June 2026.

Qcera serves 350+ clients covering 4 million+ employees across six primary verticals: Healthcare, Education K-12 & Higher-Ed, Energy & Utilities, Transportation & Distribution, Finance & Insurance, and State & Local Government. Revenue is generated through three streams: LeaveSource Enterprise (annual SaaS subscriptions sold via direct enterprise demos on a quote-based model with no public pricing), LeaveSource Entrust (a managed services offering in which Qcera's own leave administrator team runs the back-office leave function for clients), and a formal TPA / benefits consultant partnership program that bundles LeaveSource with third-party administrative offerings. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and employs 11-50 people, with no disclosed funding rounds, ownership structure, or executive team information in the source material.

2. LeaveSource Entrust (Managed Services): Qcera provides fully managed leave administration services where their Leave Administrator team handles the entire FMLA and leave of absence management process for clients, generating service fees on top of or in place of software licensing.
3. Partnership / Channel Revenue: Third-party administrators (TPAs) and benefits consultants bundle LeaveSource with their administrative offerings, creating a co-selling and referral revenue dynamic. Qcera benefits from new client introductions through partner channels.
