Substitute Cover Without the Morning Scramble

When leave is approved or someone calls in sick, the gap is visible immediately — and the schedule that fills it is drafted around lessons, term dates, and UAE Labour Law rest rules.

The 7 AM cover problem, solved before 7 AM

Every school leader knows the morning scramble: a teacher calls in sick, and someone spends the first hour of the day working out who can cover period two. CampusTrack connects the pieces that scramble depends on — approved leave and absence flow straight into the schedule, uncovered slots surface to supervisors immediately, and staff schedules are drafted around the academic calendar with working-hour and rest rules checked automatically. The scramble becomes a notification with a suggested answer.

AI shift wizard drafting a school week schedule with breaks and UAE Labour Law checks

Illustrative interface — describe the schedule in plain English; AI drafts the weekly grid with breaks and the UAE Labour Law check built in.

Coverage gaps surface immediately

Approved leave and no-shows create visible uncovered slots for supervisors — before the school day starts, not after period one.

AI-drafted schedules

Describe the week in plain English; the AI Assistant drafts the schedule grid with breaks and UAE-aware defaults. HR confirms before staff see anything.

Built around the school year

Term dates, exam weeks, holidays, and school events drive the schedule — cover planning follows the academic calendar, not a generic work week.

Teaching and non-teaching patterns

Morning teaching blocks, split admin shifts, transport runs, and security rotations — different staff groups run different patterns on the same campus.

UAE Labour Law checks

Working-hour limits and rest rules are checked on every schedule, so a cover assignment never quietly pushes someone over the line.

Connected to attendance and leave

Schedules, check-ins, and leave live in one system — actual-vs-scheduled reporting comes free, with no spreadsheet reconciliation.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan includes shift and cover planning?▾

Shift assignment with the UAE holidays calendar is included free on Starter. Growth adds the AI Assistant for drafting schedules in plain English, plus advanced reports on actual-vs-scheduled hours.

Does CampusTrack assign substitutes automatically?▾

It surfaces the gap and the available staff immediately, and the AI can draft a cover schedule — but a manager always confirms the assignment. AI does the prep; school leaders still decide.

Can different campuses run different schedules?▾

Yes — schedules, calendars, and shift patterns are configured per campus, so a nursery, a school, and a university campus in the same group each run their own day.

Is this a student timetabling system?▾

No. CampusTrack schedules staff — teaching and non-teaching. It does not build student timetables; it makes sure the staff side of the timetable is covered.
