Frontline experience from a veteran teacher.
Frontline is a very basic and easy-to-use software from the employee side. It is very user-friendly, with almost no learning curve compared to other software. We use Frontline (Aesop) as our absence management system in the school district I work in for personal leave/absences. It is easy to input, edit or delete an absence and also to check other items such as absence balances or history of absences.
- Ease of use
- Layout is not too complicated
- Small learning curve for use
- Works well on desktop or mobile
- The layout could be "outdated" for some
- Make a mobile app to use with it
- A dashboard that has user options more readily available

Frontline is clearly at the front of the class
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.
- Intuitive/easy-to-use screens
- Reporting capabilities
- Customer service is excellent
- Reporting--reports created by Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop) cannot be modified by our system admins

Frontline: Straightforward and Reliable.
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 for administrators to view.
- Scheduling for staff.
- Viewable calendars for future planning.
- No recurring schedules that can be added.
- No integration with Google Calendar.

Frontline Aesop - Does What You Need It To Do, But at a High Cost
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.
- Employee absence tracking
- Substitute teacher calling
- Easy-to-use web interface
- Reporting - WAY TOO cumbersome. I went through certification training on using the system and still have difficulty running reports.
- Weird way of reporting when a substitute declines an assignment (Phone log shows call as "aborted")
- No option to roll calendar over year to year

Easy to use platform, great for schools!
We are a K-12 charter school and we use Frontline HCM for our substitute teacher management. This is an efficient and easy way for our employees to submit a request for a sub. Frontline also helps us track and monitor our sub usage. We use Frontline almost daily and it has been extremely beneficial to our organization.
- Tracking.
- User-Friendly.
- Flexible.
- Integrate with other systems.
- Easier setup.

Frontline - Still one of the industry's best
Frontline Absence Management is used to manage employee absences and substitute assignments. It allows managers to view the vacations and hours and approve accordingly.
- Easy to use
- Interfaces with our business system
- Understandable interface
- Nothing comes to mind

Frontline: Change in Name, Not Reliability
Our business uses this product to assist with managing employee absences. It also alleviates the need for any one individual to be in charge of finding substitute teachers for those who are not able to be at school. With this, our district can make sure absences are covered as well as manage who will fill absences within the district.
- Provides coverage for employee absences.
- Notifies teachers and administrators in changes in coverage.
- Manages absence banks.
- Tracks absences with or without needed substitutes.
- Easy to use interface.
- User support mainly through organization, not Aesop/Frontline.
- Change in interface occurs without walk-through of new features to follow.
- Account recovery can be challenging.

Frontline Absence Management - Not Worth the Time nor Investment
It is currently used by Washtenaw County to manage Teacher assignments for the school week which runs from Monday thru Friday with the odd weekend day. In theory it is supposed to allow the user to look at available assignments based on their calendar which tracks open days versus reserved days. It also allows for a Global View looking at all Districts that you have permission to teach at.
- Updates calendar immediately with open days
- Sends a confirmation email based on activity
- Allows the end user to contact the school / district with any questions
- Will remove canceled assignments immediately so that you can be considered for new assignments
- Not very intuitive
- The Portal is cumbersome
- You have to remember to save everything
- It times out immediately if it does not detect any activity

Frontline Absence Management is a keeper!
As a teacher, we have personal days, sick days, professional days, field trips, compassionate care, bereavement day, etc. Frontline Absence Management allows me to enter my days from anywhere (my phone in an emergency or my work laptop) and keeps track of the type of absence that I have taken along with the days I have remaining. Because educators and support staff have so many different options, Frontline streams the process and keeps track of my bank for me. Also, because a teacher must submit an absence prior to the day, Frontline allows me to do it from anywhere at any time. In the old days, we had to call substitute service during their business hours.
- Anywhere, anytime access
- Keeps track of days taken
- Allows notes to my administrator and/or substitute
- Would like to choose or request a specific substitute
- Honestly, the system works great!

Go-to Absence Management Platform
We currently use Frontline Absence Management district wide for all staff and teachers who need to request a day off, including professional leave time, vacations, sick days, jury duty, etc. Since this is all digital, this minimizes the amount of paper being submitted and needing to be tracked from each submitter. This also helps us speed up the process and afford staff opportunity to submit these digitally the morning of the day, from their phones and computers.
- Easily submission process. Select the day you need to schedule on the listed calendar, mark the type of request, and submit.
- Works on different digital devices including phones, tablets, and computers.
- Easily track your balances by looking at your account history.
- Delete requests you have already submitted.
- There really isn't much. This is a pretty simple program to use and is part of Frontline, which many school districts use.
- Pricing is high. Especially with growing costs and the fact that it costs extra to integrate or streamline with single sign-on to the other Frontline products.
