What is Tilley Voice and how do I use it?
Start, update, or ask about your leave over the phone — Tilley Voice handles the intake, your Leave Specialist handles the rest.
Quick answer
Tilley Voice is Tilt's AI-powered phone service that gives employees more flexibility to manage their leave. Employees can call Tilley Voice to start a new leave, update an existing one, or ask FMLA-related questions. Tilley Voice can't make decisions about a leave — anything that requires judgment gets escalated to a Leave Specialist.
