Security guard employee scheduling
Serve with authority by scheduling just the right amount of agents, no matter your team size or structure. Build the perfect schedule and be done before the next perimeter check. All while minimizing labor costs and complying with your local rest and break laws. Your team views their assigned shifts from anywhere and receives custom notifications to remind them. Plus, post available shifts and allow teammates to swap, freeing you up to focus on your clients’ assets.
Time clock for security guards
Track team members’ time on the clock down to the minute and sync with your payroll to ensure accurate paychecks and reports, every time. Employees clock in and out of shifts right from their phones, or from a central kiosk. Enable GPS geofencing to verify teammates are on site when they clock in. Optimize your schedule by seeing who shows up on time, late, or no-call no-shows.
Security guard employee messaging
Keep your entire team engaged and alert with streamlined communication. Send private and group messages, create custom newsfeed pages, and deliver organization-wide announcements from your desktop or mobile device. With Sling’s communication tools, you stay in control of the message while everyone on your team stays in the loop.
Labor costs for security guards
Labor is one of the largest expenses for your security operation. De-escalate your costs of labor by tracking hours worked and setting the most efficient schedules for your team. Plan ahead of payroll by viewing time on the clock and potential overtime as you schedule. Stay on budget by comparing labor costs to projected and actual revenue to get the most out of your spending.
Task management for security guards
Keep everyone on task and focused on the priority by handing out clear assignments. Add tasks specific to any employee or shift so everyone knows what to do. Create a task from scratch, or use a premade template for recurring tasks. With task assignments, your team is more self-sufficient and gets more done.
Sling is a phenomenal product…
…that changed our staff scheduling 100%. We went from using spreadsheets to having visibility to hourly staffing levels in various positions.
Spend less time on security guard scheduling and more time protecting your clients
Work across multiple job sites from one place
Manage multiple crews working across sites from wherever you are—at the office, on site, or on the go. Whether you have one crew in the field or 100, Sling helps you keep track of who is working, where they are and what they’re doing. Get your teams organized and focused with clear scheduling and communication to help you get the job done.
Keep track of credentials with employee documents
Never worry if a license or certification has expired again. Attach important files to teammates’ profiles to see who is certified for what. Keep contracts, records, or anything else that matters to you right next to your team members’ profiles. You even receive alerts when documents are about to expire, so you never have to worry about slipping out of compliance.
Instantly sync timesheets to payroll
Avoid payroll and reporting issues before they occur and save time calculating time on the clock. Track the cost of your labor compared to your cash flow. Sync employee timesheets with your preferred payroll software, or export reports for down-to-the-minute accuracy. Sling simplifies your payroll process while improving accuracy for every paycheck.
