Frontline is well suited for an organization such as a school district where teachers sometimes need to put in for a substitute at the last minute or especially early in the morning. The system also helps with substitutes in picking up the jobs when a teacher puts in an absence.

Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop) is only one module of the Frontline suite of products we use. Integration between them is good but could be better. Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop) is very robust and has handled 95% of the things we throw at it, even though we are K-12, we have an obscure setup at times. We've had to use an API to replace a limitation of the reporting process on one of our exports. Their documentation of the system (including APIs) is excellent.

Frontline is great for making sure that absences are reported to management and Human Resources. It is helpful for scheduling subs to fill in, as well as seeing upcoming dates where employees do not have to come to work. Frontline is well-suited for an easy-to-use scheduling system. As it isn't a complex program, there isn't a lot that can go wrong with it. However, if you're looking for something more robust and with better integration with other platforms, you might want to look elsewhere.

Frontline Aesop - Does What You Need It To Do, But at a High Cost

The system does what it is designed to do: track employee absences and set up a system to call substitutes. For the price that we pay, I would think that we would get a lot more out of the system, but that's not the case. The report writer feature is way too cumbersome. You have to know exactly what type of report you want to run and then insert the specific fields you want. There are not reports that are pre-done that you can just click on with the information you are looking for. You have to create those yourself, which takes a lot of trial and error to get what you're looking for.

Each morning, I run a report out of our absence management system to see who is absent each day. I am able to log into Frontline and quickly see who has their absence filled with a sub and who hasn't. I can also run a report that is easy for me to paste onto my other reports. We use another system for absence management and so it is tough to have our employees need to use two different systems when entering time off. This is why it would be helpful for Frontline to be integrated with other systems.

Many school districts use/have used Frontline (Aesop). It is easy to manage and employees like it. We have many substitutes and because other districts also use it, there is a consistency with the different districts that is helpful to subs.

Within our school district, getting in contact with administrators around the clock can be challenging and unrealistic. Through the use of Frontline, employees can submit absences at any time of the day or night. This also allows substitutes to accept jobs as soon as absences are submitted. This may not be as well suited for employee absences that do not require someone to fill the position immediately.

Frontline handles basic activity very well, but it cannot handle more difficult scenarios such as swapping out assignments. For example, if a Teacher has an assignment and then that assignment gets canceled by the school due to snow, ice, or a facility issue such as loss of power, the end-user loses that day of pay. Frontline does not offer a global view so that assignments can be swapped.

Frontline Absence Management is easily accessible and efficient to use. I like that I can log in from anywhere at any time and create an absence. In an emergency situation, that is key as a teacher must always generate an absence no matter what is the reason. I also think it is beneficial that Frontline keeps track of my bank of absences in each of the categories so I no longer have to do that for myself. Overall, this system beats the old days of calling the substitute service!

It is well suited whether you are planning to be absent months in advance and need to contact a sub ahead of time or if you wake up sick the morning of work and need to post an absence immediately. Subs can use it to look for openings they can fill.

Aesop is excellent for absence management in the school setting. Aesop has been used in elementary and secondary schools successfully. I have used Aesop as both a substitute and permanent employee. Aesop isn't a good fit if a district doesn't have enough substitutes to fill all absences. Aesop only matches permanent teachers with subs currently on a district's roster.

Great for school business offices or school board/main offices going digital with staff submission of days off, vacation, sick, professional, personal, etc. Helps alleviate time passing physical documents and affords the user a platform they can track their balances and easily submit requests digitally using their phone. If you are a Frontline user of their other products, this seems like a no-brainer and can integrate with them, as well as other programs.

Frontline Absence Management is very straightforward and easy to use, but I wish as a teacher I had more abilities to see when substitutes previously filled in for me. It is very well suited for school districts that are trying to manage their staff sick days. It allows teachers to also put in various personal, professional, or bereavement days.
