Frontline Absence & Time
Overview
- Overview
-
Frontline Absence & Time is a K–12 employee absence, substitute placement, timekeeping, and attendance platform. Employees report absences, district rules identify eligible substitutes, and available jobs are distributed through web, mobile, and automated notifications so schools can cover classrooms without maintaining separate call lists and spreadsheets.
An absence connects an employee assignment, a school, a date, and the need for qualified coverage. HR, payroll, substitutes, and school offices use different parts of that record.
