Vacation requests
that reach the schedule

A time-off request on paper or by text gets approved by one person and forgotten by the scheduler. In CGuardPro the officer requests it from the app, it goes to the right manager, and once approved the days are marked on the schedule where coverage is planned.

Guard app schedule where approved time off appears

Short answer

Time-off request software lets officers ask for vacation or leave and routes the request for approval. In CGuardPro the officer submits the request from the guard app, it is sent to the manager of their department (or to HR when there is none), and the officer is notified of the decision. Approved days are applied to the schedule so the post’s coverage can be arranged in advance.

What goes wrong with leave today

Approved but not scheduled

The manager said yes in a hallway; the officer is still on the schedule for those days.

Nobody knows who approves

Requests circle between supervisors and HR until the date has passed.

Coverage arranged the night before

A vacation known for a month becomes a 5 a.m. call-off problem.
