The full Frontline Absence & Time solution includes several applications designed to help K-12 administrators manage employee time and attendance and maintain compliance. They include:
Absence & Substitute Management Track absence trends and find the most qualified substitute for every classroom

Gain efficiencies and streamline processes. Our systems are integrated, which means an employee in our time tracking system is automatically updated in our absence solution. This ensures data is accurate and stays consistent, and eliminates the extra time spent on re-entering information from one system to the other. And because we integrate with most major payroll vendors, you can reduce payroll errors and save time inputting data. Finally, combined reporting in the system ensures that the appropriate funding codes are used for absences.
Maintain compliance. Tracking employee attendance in one place helps you stay compliant with state and federal labor laws, ACA, FLSA and collective bargaining agreements. Reports may be run to see when substitutes and part-time employees are approaching the threshold for benefit eligibility.
Have greater visibility. Our system provides total visibility into where your people are, when they’re working and in what capacity. You can see the whole picture of employee attendance with a single login.

Do I need to purchase special equipment to manage my employees’ time?
No. Frontline is device agnostic, meaning you can use your current equipment. We support a variety of options for tracking employee time, and will never ask you to purchase proprietary hardware. You can choose to have online timesheets that employees fill out easily from their own computer, or you can have timesheets auto-populate based on the user’s work schedule, which the employee then validates or changes – complete with electronic signature. Or, employees can easily clock in and out with their ID and PIN on any computer, tablet or other internet-connected device (whether their own device or a kiosk you set up). You can also choose to have them scan in using barcodes, proximity cards, magnetic cards or even biometric scanners from other vendors.
What hardware or software do I need to install?
None! Frontline Absence & Time is a web-based solution — an Internet connection is all that’s required.
