Scheduling
See who is available and fill the gap fast.
Reduce absenteeism by seeing who is available and who is working, all while minimizing labor cost and complying with your local rest and break laws.
- Find and assign a substitute in minutes
- Your team views shifts from anywhere and gets reminders
- Post available shifts and let staff swap
- Stay inside local rest and break rules as you schedule
Time clock
Hours to the minute, never rounded.
Track time on the clock down to the minute, never rounded, and export approved hours for your payroll provider.
- Staff clock in and out from their phones or a central kiosk
- Location checks flag any clock-in from off site for your review
- See who is on time, who is late, and who no-call no-shows
- Give credit where it is earned
Communication
A collaborative staff, wherever they teach.
Increase engagement and build a collaborative environment no matter where your staff work.
- Send private and group messages at the click of a button
- Organize conversations by team, location, and more
- Get notifications for new messages wherever you are
- Never miss a beat between periods
Labor costs
Plan for the lowest cost of coverage.
Labor is one of the largest expenses for a school or district. Track hours worked and set the most efficient schedule for your team.
- See time on the clock, and get warned when someone passes their weekly hours limit
- Plan ahead of payroll instead of reacting to it
- Compare labor cost and other expenses to your budget
- Stay within budget through the whole term
Task management
Everyone understood the assignment.
Add tasks specific to any staff member or shift so everyone knows what to do and where to go.
- Assign tasks to a person or to a shift
- Start from scratch or use a template for recurring work
- Cut the confusion about who is doing what
- Your team clears the list before the next bell
Spend less time scheduling
More time focused on students.
The details that keep an education schedule accurate, compliant, and on budget.
Credentials on file
Attach licenses, certifications, contracts, and records right to an employee profile so you can see who is certified for what. Alerts arrive before a document expires, so nothing lapses without you knowing.
Ready for payroll
Catch payroll problems before they happen and stop calculating time on the clock by hand. Track labor cost against your budget, export approved hours for your payroll provider, or pull reports down to the minute.
Real rest between shifts
Check your state's rules in our labor law guides. Set a weekly hours limit as you build, and give staff enough time between shifts with clopening alerts and breaks built into the shift. Anything that needs your attention gets flagged.
