Entering an Absence
Employees can enter absences through the web, a smartphone, or by calling into the system. This flexibility allows absences to be reported quickly and efficiently.
Automated Substitute Placement
If a substitute is required, the system performs automated checks to identify qualified candidates.
Automated Check Examples:
- Confirm whether approval is required
- Verify substitute availability
- Confirm appropriate skills for the assignment
- Apply district-defined placement criteria
Qualified substitutes can accept jobs online, through a smartphone, or by phone. If no substitute accepts the job two days before it begins, the system actively places calls to secure coverage.
Administrative Monitoring and Oversight
Administrators can monitor and manage absences at any time.
Administrative Task Examples:
- Monitor school absences
- Enter absences
- Approve absences
- Verify substitute attendance
Reliable Coverage for Instruction
Once a substitute accepts the assignment, coverage is confirmed, helping ensure classrooms remain staffed and instructional time is protected.
