Absolutely! Customize your absence tracker away. Unlike other absence management systems, TeamSense lets employers make custom adjustments to fit your needs. Create custom workflows with surveys that fit your company’s absence policy, and collect data using customized questions employers select.
Once an associate texts they are absent for the day, they'll be sent a workflow questionnaire to answer, giving employers more information about why they’re out. Associates choose if they want to use PTO, absence points, or sick time for missing work. This also saves HR personnel time when it comes to coding leave requests for leave types and tracking the leave balance.
