Stronger Hiring. Smarter Coverage. More Time for What Matters.

You’ve built a strong team. But when a teacher calls out at 6 a.m., coverage shouldn’t be a crisis. Every uncovered absence puts pressure on staff, disrupts learning, and drains your budget. Frontline Absence & Time makes it easy — purpose-built for K‑12.

Recruiting is only half the equation.

Hiring great people is step one. Protecting every day they teach is step two. 

You’ve worked hard to attract and hire the right staff. But every uncovered absence and every manual timesheet eats away at that investment. Without a connected Absence & Time solution, you risk: 

  • Scrambling for last-minute coverage 
  • Overburdening staff and hurting morale 
  • Compliance gaps that cost you money and time 
  • Manual processes that slow everything down 

Every uncovered absence chips away at retention, morale, and the investment you’ve made in great hiring. Keeping classrooms covered protects both your people and your students.

Smarter Absence Management for K12

When a teacher is out, it’s not just a line on a spreadsheet…it’s a classroom full of students and a ripple effect across your team. Frontline Absence Management takes the chaos out of coverage so you can focus on supporting people, not chasing paperwork. 

Before

Early-morning chaos and manual calls to find subs. 

  • Manually track absence requests and substitute assignments.
  • Spend early mornings making multiple phone calls to fill vacancies.
  • Struggle to cover classrooms at the last minute.
  • Keep attendance and leave records scattered across paper forms or spreadsheets.
  • Handle time-consuming administrative tasks that take focus away from students.
  • Risk falling out of compliance with contracts and labor regulations due to inconsistent processes.

After

Seamless absence management at your fingertips.

  • Automate absence requests and substitute placement. 
  • Use the mobile app to create, approve, and fill absences on the go — no 6 a.m. phone calls. 
  • Ensure classrooms are covered without last-minute scrambling. 
  • Track leave balances and employee attendance in one place. 
  • Eliminate paper-based workflows and reduce administrative burden. 
  • Stay compliant with ACA, FLSA, and union contracts. 

One System for People, Absences, and Time

Every hour worked and every sub covered ultimately hits your payroll. Connecting absences and time in one system keeps your data — and your dollars — accurate. 

With Frontline Time & Attendance, part of Absence & Time, you can connect attendance, leave, and payroll-ready timesheets in one seamless workflow: 

  • Track hours worked and extra duty in the same system as absences. 
  • Automate payroll exports to reduce errors and save hours. 

Link absence data to labor cost insights to manage budgets proactively. 

“The teachers get on the app, enter their day of absence, and it would immediately start calling subs and I would just get a notification. It alleviated a lot of stress.”
