Frekyl Introduces Employee Call-Off System for Shift-Based Workforces
Frekyl, an employee call-off system for shift-based operations, lets employees call off by text or automated phone call with no app or login, alerts the right managers instantly, and can send automated shift-filling callouts to the company's own staff.
Toronto, Canada, November 11, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Frekyl Software, Inc. today introduced an employee call-off system for shift-based operations in the United States and Canada. With Frekyl, employees call off by text message or automated phone call, with no app or login, and the right supervisors are alerted instantly. Companies can add automated shift-filling callouts, which offer the open shift to their own employees by text and phone.
What is an employee call-off system?
An employee call-off system gives hourly employees a consistent, automated way to report an absence, late arrival or early departure, records every call-off with a timestamp, and alerts the right manager right away. It replaces call-in voicemail lines, texts to supervisors' personal phones and paper logs.
"On a plant floor, the call-off is where shift coverage starts," said Catherine, co-founder of Frekyl. "If a supervisor finds out late, or the call-off sits in a voicemail box, the whole shift starts behind. Frekyl gives employees one simple way to call off and gives supervisors the information the moment it comes in, so they can start covering the shift right away."
How Frekyl works
Call-off by text or phone. Employees text or call one number. There is no app to install, no login and no company email needed.
Instant manager alerts. Supervisors and managers are notified by text, email or in the Frekyl web app, based on routing rules the company sets.
Complete call-off records. Guided prompts collect the date, expected return and reason, using the company's own reason codes.
Automated shift-filling callouts (optional). With Shift Filling, Frekyl offers the open shift to eligible employees by text and automated call and awards it using the eligibility rules the company sets up, such as seniority, certifications, or overtime and rest limits.
Agency escalation (optional). With Agency Connect, shifts that stay open can be sent to the company's own staffing agency partners in the same workflow.
