The amount of time that our supervisors now have to spend approving timesheets is minimal compared to what it used to be, and that alone would have been reason enough to go with the system. Gary Lambert Director of Technology, Beekmantown Central School District, New York Why School Districts Choose Frontline Absences and time automatically aligned.

Designed for how schools actually pay. From extra duty and coaching to gap time and weighted overtime, our K–12 rules engine handles it all, without custom code or spreadsheets. Know who’s working (and where). The People Locator shows which staff are clocked in, where they’re assigned, and in what role. It’s instant visibility that helps with coverage, safety, and accountability. Catch issues before they become errors. Built-in safeguards flag conflicts, apply policy rules, and help you stay compliant with labor laws — without digging through disconnected systems. Case Study Read the full case study “I like how [employee leave data] rolls from Absence right into the Time system. We’ve got one system, we can do it and import into our payroll. It all works very slick.” — Christie VanWey Business Manager, Marion Independent School District Frequently Asked Questions How does Time & Attendance automate the time collection process? Time & Attendance provides multiple options for employees or administrators to enter time. Employees can clock in via a kiosk, directly from their computer, or using contactless options such as the Frontline mobile app. Since you define the rules for time collection, the need for manual edits is greatly reduced. How can we support employee accountability while tracking hours electronically? You can use the IP address range feature to prevent employees from clocking in at home or from the wrong location. And to further improve accountability, employees cannot alter timesheets without their supervisor’s approval. How does Time & Attendance integrate with Frontline’s Absence Management? An employee absence entered in Absence Management is automatically updated in the employee’s timesheet. This ensures data is accurate (no over/underpaying employees), and eliminates the extra time spent on rekeying information from one system to the other. Combined reporting ensures the appropriate funding codes are used for time worked and absences. And employees who are self-reporting can use the same login credentials or mobile app that they use for Absence Management. How does Time & Attendance simplify processing payroll? Time & Attendance allows you to customize pay rules to automate the calculation of both common payroll rules and rules that are specific to K-12. You can set up rules to calculate overtime, dock, or gap time, and overtime can automatically be allocated to extra duties worked, eliminating the need to manually “move hours.” You can rest easy, knowing your time sheets are accurate. Plus, Time & Attendance integrates with most payroll systems used by K-12 organizations, so you don’t need to spend hours entering employee time. How does Time & Attendance assist with compliance? The tools in Time & Attendance assist in maintaining compliance with government regulations and programs such as ACA, FMLA, Unemployment, and the CARES Act by classifying and tracking days worked and leave taken. Administrators can quickly identify the number of hours and days employees have worked and alert them when thresholds are about to be met or exceeded. What Absence & Time functionality is available with the mobile app? The mobile app makes it easy for employees to stay on top of their own hours anytime from anywhere. Through the mobile app, employees can: Clock in and out based on administrator-approved parameters. Check their own leave balances and see upcoming scheduled absences. Create an absence request. View, edit, and submit timesheets. Receive alerts. Look up colleagues in an employee directory (if the district also has Frontline Central). As an administrator, you can: Easily view and approve (or deny) absences from your phone. View the Daily Report of filled/unfilled absences. Get the details on who is absent and why. See a quick view of 3-day trends. Access daily filled and unfilled absence counts using Siri® (iOS only). Compare your district’s performance on select absence and substitute metrics to national, state, and district size benchmarks. As a substitute, you can: Get a notification of available jobs right to their mobile device. Accept available jobs and view job details within the app. Search and view all available jobs. Do I need to purchase special equipment to manage my employees’ time? No! Time & Attendance is web-based — an internet connection is all that’s required — and you can use whatever time tracking method works best for your district, whether it’s electronic timesheets, the Frontline mobile app, a kiosk or timeclock, etc. What makes Frontline’s solution different?
