Schedaddle automatically detects when an employee is late or has not clocked in for a started shift, alerts the manager by push, and helps re-cover the shift from available staff — without the manager having to watch the clock.
On the time-and-attendance plan, Schedaddle watches scheduled shifts against real clock-ins. A scheduled background check flags an employee who has not clocked in past a grace window as late, and marks a fully-missed shift as a no-show. The manager gets a push notification the moment it triggers — so a 7am open with no one there surfaces immediately, not when a customer complains. Late-but-not-absent arrivals are distinguished from true no-shows, so an employee running ten minutes behind is not wrongly recorded as missing the shift.
Once a no-show is flagged, the manager needs a replacement, fast. Schedaddle shows who is available and not already scheduled, so the manager can offer the open shift to someone who can actually take it — respecting saved availability and avoiding overtime or a close-then-open. Because availability is stored, the manager is not calling down a list blind; they are picking from staff the system already knows are free. The replacement is notified through the app, and the change is recorded.
Every no-show and late arrival is captured in attendance and punctuality reports. Over a few weeks that turns a vague sense of "this keeps happening" into a clear record by employee — the input a manager needs for a fair conversation or a coaching plan. Auto clock-out also closes out shifts an employee forgot to end, so hours stay accurate. The result: fewer surprise gaps, faster recovery when they happen, and the documentation to address repeat offenders.
A scheduled background job compares each shift to real clock-ins. If no one has clocked in past a grace window the shift is flagged late, and a fully-missed shift is marked a no-show, with a push alert to the manager.
Yes. A late arrival within the grace window is recorded as late, not as a no-show, so someone running a few minutes behind is not wrongly marked absent.
