Manually Managing Call-Offs Doesn’t Scale

Phone trees, spreadsheets, and guess work cost hours every week and still leave shifts uncovered.

Without Frekyl

Managers chase down who's out, retype the same information into several different systems, and find out about coverage gaps when it's too late to fix them cleanly.

With Frekyl

Absences are captured the moment they happen, routed to the right people automatically, and logged with a full audit trail. No manual entry required. No time lost chasing.

How It Works

  • Employee Reports Absence

    Employees call a toll-free IVR number to self-report the reason for their absence

  • Stakeholders Are Notified

    An email and or SMS notification is sent to management, notifying them of the absence, giving them the option to launch an automated shift filling callout

  • Acknowledgement

    Absence is acknowledged by management with escalation rules if an absence isn't acknowledged in a pre-selected time-frame

  • Update WFM

    If integrated with a Workforce Management System, an absence is logged in near real-time

FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to what teams ask before getting started with Frekyl.

What is automated absence reporting?

A system that lets employees report absences by automated phone (IVR) or text and instantly notifies managers, replacing manual call-offs and phone trees.

They call a dedicated line and follow the voice prompts or send a text and follow the prompts to log their date of absence, date of return, and reason for their absence.

Yes. Frekyl runs standalone or syncs with your existing workforce management stack, to keep schedules and audit trails accurate and current.

Notifications go out by SMS and email the moment an absence is reported, so managers can make immediate adjustments or start the shift filling callout process immediately, which can also be automated.

There is no limit to how many people or who can be notified of an absence. Typically organizations will configure an escalation chain so that a direct report is notified immediately and if an absence isn’t acknowledged after a pre-determine amount of time, the notification escalates to a others such as HR.

Frekyl can automatically escalate an unacknowledged absence report after a set time window, so a report never goes unanswered.

Managers have the option of leaving the shift vacant, getting another employee to cover the shift or launching an callout via automated phone call or SMS to eligible and available internal staff. This process takes less than 3-minutes
