If a manager selects the alert detail from the list, the Employee Profile screen opens. If the employee is clocked in, the manager can clock out the employee or transfer the employee's job. 

Managers can also see the employee's projected hours for the period, the number of hours the employee has to date for the period, and the employee's current shift information. Managers can contact the employee via email, text, message, or phone.
