The Employee Call Out System for Forward-Thinking Manufacturing Companies

An employee call off hotline is a phone number that employees dial to request time off, sick leave, or other unplanned employee absences. When an employee knows they will be coming in late to work or missing the entire day, they can use employee call off hotlines to report their absence. The call off number system will keep track of who has called out for the day and report that information to managers.

Many companies are replacing their traditional call out service or their third party answering service with automated online services to enhance productivity, track employee attendance, and save time.

The call out service is provided through the employee call off system. A traditional call out service may use an operator based call in line or a voicemail based call out service. Using this call out service allows for better frontline employee self-service and integrates with employee records.

Because human error is inevitable with human operators, many companies are replacing the traditional hotline with automated, online call off services, like a text-based employee call off system. TeamSense automates the employee absence reporting line replacing traditional manual call in lines. This standardized method provides transparency to everyone and may help prevent a wrongful termination lawsuit should the need arise.

Having an employee call out service doesn't have to be costly. The price of TeamSense’s employee call out system begins at $3.00 per user per month (Starter Plan). This tier includes a call off number to text, daily dashboard access, and unlimited messages.
