The PeopleSoft Fluid Workforce Availability feature equips managers with the tools they need to track and monitor employee time, training and attendance using an intuitive schedule view on a desktop, tablet or mobile device. The Fluid Workforce Availability feature enables enhanced managerial decision making, lowered compliance risk and workforce costs.
Interactive Viewing
The Workforce Availability page within the Manager Self Service dashboard shows an overview of all employees’ scheduled and reported times, with a daily or weekly view. Using the filter options, managers can search for and filter only the employees they would like to see, such as employees reporting to them during a particular shift. Managers can see who has approved or unapproved absences quickly, who is sick and who is taking vacation time. In addition to filtering capabilities, there is also a Sort command, allowing managers to sort by name, telephone, reported time and scheduled time.

The Workforce Availability page uses rectangles to represent an employee’s scheduled time, with green bars reflecting actual, clocked time. Managers are able to see an employee’s attendance down to the minute. Managers can drill down and view more details about an employee’s time, such as the time they punched in and out, or when they took their lunch break.
Immediate Action
The Workforce Availability feature allows managers to take action immediately in regard to an employee’s time or attendance. For example, using the filters, managers can see who did not clock in for work on a given day and follow up quickly with a phone call by referencing the telephone number displayed under the employee’s name. Managers can take other actions in regard to an employee’s attendance by clicking on the related actions button next to an employee’s name. Managers can take actions such as approving overtime, approving an absence or emailing an employee to ask about a deviation in his or her attendance.
