## Abstract

According to some embodiments, systems and methods are provided including a computer processor; and a computer memory, coupled to the computer processor, storing instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to: receive an absence planning request from a first user; receive data for the first user from the data store and at least one of a first third-party platform and a second third-party platform; extract data from the received data for the first user; apply an absence planning algorithm to the extracted data to dynamically generate an absence plan; and output the generated absence plan; and a communication port coupled to the back-end application computer server to facilitate a transmission of data with remote user devices to support interactive user interface displays, including the absence plan, via a distributed communication network. Numerous other aspects are provided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An absence planning system implemented via a back-end application computer server, comprising:
(a) a data store that contains electronic records, each electronic record representing a user, and including, for each user, an electronic record identifier and a set of user parameter values;
(b) the back-end application computer server, coupled to the data store, including:
a computer processor; and
a computer memory, coupled to the computer processor, storing instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to:
receive an absence planning request from a first user;
receive data for the first user from the data store and at least one of a first third-party platform and a second third-party platform;
extract data from the received data for the first user;
apply an absence planning algorithm to the extracted data to dynamically generate an absence plan;
output the generated absence plan, the absence plan including job protection estimated pay, milestone dates, next steps and one or more links to additional information;
automatically retrieve a third-party form from a third-party source;
complete the retrieved third-party form using the generated absence plan; and
submit the generated absence plan to one of the first third-party platform and the second third-party platform; and
(c) a communication port coupled to the back-end application computer server to facilitate a transmission of data with remote user devices to support interactive user interface displays, including the absence plan, via a distributed communication network.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the user is associated with the first third-party platform.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the second third-party platform is a government platform.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to:
complete a second third-party form using data included in the generated absence plan and data included in the absence planning request.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to:
transmit the completed second third-party form to the second third-party platform, initiating a second third-party process.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to:
complete a form using data included in the generated absence plan and data included in the absence planning request; and
initiate a resource process in response to submission of the completed form.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the data received from the first third-party platform is received in response to one of a push operation or a pull operation.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the extracted data includes a user location and a leave plan.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to:
retrieve second third-party data that is location-specific based on the user location for execution of the absence planning algorithm.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the location-specific second third-party data includes state-based rules.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the data received for the first user from the at least one of the first third-party platform and the second third-party platform is received via execution of an Application Programming Interface (API).

### Claim 12

A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving an absence planning request from a first user;
receiving, in response to the received absence planning request, data for the first user from a data store and at least one of a first third-party platform and a government platform;
extracting data from the received data for the first user;
dynamically generating an absence plan via application of an absence planning algorithm to the extracted data;
outputting the generated absence plan, the absence plan including job protection estimated pay, milestone dates, next steps and one or more links to additional information;
automatically retrieving a third-party form from a third-party source;
completing the retrieved third-party form using the generated absence plan; and
submitting the generated absence plan to one of the first third-party platform and the government platform.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the user is associated with the first third-party platform.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further comprising:
completing a government form using data included in the generated absence plan and data included in the absence planning request.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, further comprising:
transmitting the completed government form to the government platform, initiating a government process.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further comprising:
completing a form using data included in the generated absence plan and data included in the absence planning request; and
initiating a resource process in response to submission of the completed form.

### Claim 17

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing program code that, when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving an absence planning request from a first user;
receiving, in response to the received absence planning request, data for the first user from a data store and at least one of a first third-party platform and a second third-party platform;
extracting data from the received data for the first user;
dynamically generating an absence plan via application of an absence planning algorithm to the extracted data;
outputting the generated absence plan, the absence plan including job protection estimated pay, milestone dates, next steps and one or more links to additional information;
automatically retrieving a third-party form from a third-party source;
completing the retrieved third-party form using the generated absence plan; and
submitting the generated absence plan to one of the first third-party platform and the second third-party platform.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The media of claim 17, wherein the second third-party platform is a government platform.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

completing a second third-party form using data included in the generated absence plan and data included in the absence planning request.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The media of claim 19, further comprising:
transmitting the completed second third-party form to the second third-party platform, initiating a second third-party process.
