Redefining Workforce Management for K-12
Managing a school district’s workforce is like running a classroom. Just as teachers need the right tools and lesson plans to help students thrive, administrators need effective systems to keep their schools running smoothly. K-12 workforce management, however, comes with its own unique challenges—complex contracts, varied positions, and annualized pay schedules. That’s where Red Rover steps in, providing a solution built (not bought) specifically for the unique needs of schools.
Why is K-12 Different?
K-12 workforce management is far from straightforward. Schools must manage teachers, substitutes, and support staff with varying contract types, all while staying compliant with state and federal regulations. Add in the complexities of annualized pay schedules and covering for teacher absences, and it’s clear that generic workforce solutions simply don’t cut it in this space.
Red Rover's Tailored Approach to K-12
Workforce Management
Red Rover was designed exclusively for K-12, solving the real-world challenges schools face every day:
Contracts & Positions: Red Rover ensures employees are seamlessly assigned to multiple positions or even various jobs within a single position. We understand that in K-12 environments, it’s rarely as straightforward as having employees focus on just one job; they often juggle multiple responsibilities daily or routinely.
Annualized Pay Schedules: K-12 employees typically work for 10 months while receiving pay distributed over 12 months. Red Rover is designed to manage these varied calendars, track exceptions and variances, and assist payroll in delivering accurate and consistent paychecks.
Calendar Flexibility: The employee calendar is crucial for maintaining accurate time records for K-12 staff. Unlike generic systems, which often fall short, Red Rover is specifically tailored for the K-12 environment. It provides flexibility and facilitates the easy assignment of calendars, serving as a foundational element of the employee record.
