What school staffing makes complicated

πŸ™‹
Finding a substitute takes too long
A sick aide or custodian shouldn't mean an hour of phone calls. Post the open shift and any qualified staff member can volunteer β€” the office approves and the schedule updates instantly.
πŸ–οΈ
Leave balances are hard to track by hand
Sick days, personal days, and PTO accrue differently for different staff types. Automatic leave accrual tracks balances per employee β€” staff can check their own balance, no office visit needed.
🏫
Multiple buildings, one district office
Staff clock in from any building using any web browser or a shared front-office tablet in Kiosk Mode. The district office sees hours across every location in one dashboard.
πŸ“„
Payroll runs on district timelines
Export hours directly to your payroll provider β€” ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, or Gusto β€” in the format they expect, with no manual re-entry before the payroll deadline.
