Finding out about no-shows hours later costs you money.

When a scheduled employee doesn’t show up and nobody notices for two hours, you’ve lost productivity, customer service quality, and manager time scrambling to fill the gap. Smart alerts close that window from hours to minutes. The system compares the schedule against clock-in data and surfaces every exception automatically.

Three alerts that change everything

Late Alert — 15 min

Fires when an employee hasn’t clocked in 15 minutes after their scheduled start.

  • Automatic — no manual monitoring
  • Manager notified immediately
  • Employee’s shift and expected time included
  • Gives time to find coverage if needed
🚨

No-Show Alert — 45 min

Fires when an employee is 45 minutes past start with no clock-in.

  • Escalation from late to no-show
  • Clear signal to take action
  • Helps managers prioritize response
  • Pattern tracking over time
🕔

Missed Clock-Out

Detects when an employee clocked in but never clocked out.

  • Notification sent to the employee
  • Timesheet flagged for manager review
  • Prevents inaccurate hours calculation
  • Manager can add manual clock-out

“The late alerts alone paid for the first month. We used to find out about no-shows two hours in. Now we know in 15 minutes.”

Frequently asked questions

When do late alerts fire?+

Late alerts fire at 15 minutes past the employee’s scheduled start time. If they haven’t clocked in by then, the manager is notified automatically.

When do no-show alerts fire?+

No-show alerts fire at 45 minutes past the scheduled start time. This gives employees a reasonable window while ensuring managers know about missing staff before it impacts operations.

What about missed clock-outs?+

If an employee clocks in but never clocks out, the system sends a missed clock-out notification to the employee and flags the timesheet entry for manager review.

Can I customize alert timing?+

The 15-minute late and 45-minute no-show thresholds are the defaults. Contact us if you need custom timing for your organization.

How are alerts delivered?+

Alerts are delivered through the Staffapp dashboard and in-app notifications. SMS alerts are available as an add-on for teams that need them.
