Employee scheduling for corrections agencies

Every post needs the right officer on every shift. Aladtec puts fixed posts, rotations, and callbacks on one schedule and spreads mandatory overtime fairly, so shift supervisors and command staff can see who’s on each post and where relief is needed. 

Did you know?

Unfilled posts turn into overtime fast

Officer shortages and last-minute call-offs leave posts open. Since every post must be staffed, corrections agencies fill the gap with overtime and those hours can add up fast.

Reliable coverage for every post

Post coverage doesn’t follow a standard workday, and neither should your scheduling. Aladtec builds schedules around your agency’s actual rotation, then helps you fill the gaps when officers call out.

  • Build fixed, rotating, or custom post assignments without starting from scratch
  • Notify available, qualified officers when short-notice coverage is needed
  • Give officers mobile access to view schedules, request trades, and see updates in real time

The right officer, with the right certifications

Not every officer can fill every post. Aladtec matches shifts to rank, training, and certification, so every post gets qualified personnel and supervisors can act before a credential lapses.

  • Track certifications, licenses, and training records for every officer
  • Get alerts before a credential expires
  • Apply assignment restrictions when a required certification lapses

Spend less time reworking your corrections schedule

Control overtime without losing fairness

Overtime is one of the biggest cost drivers in corrections, and mandatory overtime often builds up before anyone notices. Aladtec shows scheduled, extra duty, and overtime hours as the schedule is built and applies your rules consistently across the facility.

  • See overtime exposure and hours before you publish a schedule
  • Distribute regular and mandatory overtime fairly, based on your agency’s rules
  • Apply union and work policies consistently as schedules change

What is employee scheduling software for corrections?

Employee scheduling software for corrections helps facilities staff every post according to required staffing levels across posts and shifts, manage mandatory overtime, and track certifications in one place. It replaces spreadsheets, whiteboards, and phone trees with a connected solution that gives supervisors real-time visibility into staffing across every unit and gives officers mobile access to their schedules.

How does Aladtec help fill a post when an officer calls out?

When a post opens, Aladtec identifies available, qualified officers and notifies them by text, email, or mobile push alert, simultaneously or staggered based on your rules. Officers can accept or decline from any device, so supervisors spend less searching for coverage and posts get filled faster.

Can Aladtec track officer certifications and training?

Yes, Aladtec tracks licenses, certifications, and training records for every officer, with proactive alerts before a credential expires. You can configure what happens when a certification lapses, from a warning to an outright restriction on the assignment.

How does Aladtec help manage mandatory overtime?

Aladtec shows scheduled hours, mandatory overtime, and special assignments as the schedule is built, so supervisors can see overtime exposure before they publish it. Built-in rules help distribute mandatory overtime fairly and consistently, based on seniority and your agency’s policies.

Can I connect Aladtec to my other systems?

Yes. Aladtec connects with payroll and HR systems, so schedule and shift data move into your existing processes with less manual re-entry.

Do you support multiple facilities or units?

Yes. Aladtec supports multi-unit and multi-facility agencies, so command staff can view staffing patterns and trends across the entire agency while each unit manages its own day-to-day scheduling.
