Frontline HCM (Aesop Online)

Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop) is used by all of our teacher staff, classroom instructional assistants, nurses, and some contractual employees that are partnered one-on-one with special education students. Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop) is excellent in finding qualified substitutes via multiple avenues where substitutes can job shop (internet), jobulator (push notifications to subs phone), and make phone calls.

• Teacher/IA absence fulfillment
• Ability to limit subs to only see/accept jobs they are qualified for
• Integration with our ERP system

• Runs without much administrative management once configured
• Easy to see job history and who was contacted to fill jobs
• Only requires 1 HR administrative assistant approximately 45% of their time to manage roughly 300 substitutes

I use Frontline to help track upcoming absences and scheduling changes. Frontline helps manage when employees have days off by serving as a cohesive calendar from Human Resources to all employees at the organization. I also use Frontline to mark when I will be using vacation time, sick time, or other types of absences. This is then viewable to Human Resources and other administrators.

• Absence management.
• Substitute reporting.
• Accurate calendars.

• Frontline has made it easy to schedule substitutes, resulting in fewer vacancies during the school day.
• Frontline keeps a balance of vacation and sick time, resulting in a more informed staff.
• There have been very few complaints about time and absence management.

We utilize Aesop for our employee attendance and substitute teacher tracking. Employees had their absences into the system and substitutes are contacted to fulfill those assignments. We also utilize the system to send out mass communications to our substitute teaching pool. We then integrate the data from Aesop into our HRIS/Business office software.

• Substitute teacher calling
• Employee absence tracking

• Moved us away from a person doing all of the substitute calling
• Allows employees to view their absence balances easily
• Eliminates paper-based processes for time off requests

• Management of vacation/sick time
• Specifics as to why employees are not at work
• Ability to change fields, such as a new one we created for COVID related absences
