The FSG Platform · Automated scheduling, time, and invoicing
FSG Go
Know what you are paying for.
FSG Go is our automated platform for scheduling, time, and invoicing. It takes substitute requests by building, sends each approver the week in one email, and attaches the approval record to every invoice.

Overview
Paying for hours nobody at the school confirmed.
Paper timesheets and emailed spreadsheets leave a business office guessing. Who signed off? Was that a half day? Which building?
FSG Go puts every day in front of the person at your school who knows, records their name against it, and attaches that record to the invoice.

Capabilities
Inside FSG Go.
Automation runs the hand-offs where time and billing usually go wrong.
Self-filling timesheets
Fills each professional's week from the schedule and texts it to them on Friday to confirm or correct.
Scheduled approvals
Sends the approval email Monday at 1 PM and a reminder Wednesday. Nobody at your school has to remember to ask.
Automatic proof
Stamps every approval with a name and a time and compiles the record that travels with the invoice.
How it works
How a week runs.
Four steps. Your approver is in one of them.
01
Friday: the professional confirms
Each professional gets a text with their week, filled in from the schedule. They confirm it or correct it.
02
Monday: one email to your approver
At 1 PM each approver receives one email with their own link. There is no password, and it works on a phone.
03
By Thursday: tick and approve
They tick the days that are right and approve with their name. Anything wrong goes back with a note and we fix it.
04
Invoice: the record comes with it
The invoice is itemized, and a Timesheet approvals PDF goes with it: every day, who approved it, and when.
What your approver opens
Request a demoThe week, one day per line, ready to check.
The link opens that week's timesheets for your school: each day with the person, building, role, times, and who they covered for. Tick the days that are right, then choose Approve.
FSG Go
What to expect.
Each person at your school sees only the part that is theirs.
Substitute requests
Takes requests by building, position, full or half day, room, and who is being covered: single, repeating, or pasted as a batch. Fills are emailed and texted to your school contacts.
One link
Delivers timesheets Monday at 1 PM with a reminder Wednesday. The link works until Thursday at 1 PM and opens as many times as needed.
Named decisions
Records Approve, Needs adjustment, or Reject. Approving takes a typed name; the other two take a note that comes straight back to us.
Approval record
Attaches a Timesheet approvals PDF to each invoice, listing every day, who approved it, and when.
Postable invoices
Itemizes each invoice with sections and subtotals. Where your district needs it: vendor number, fund and account codes, a row per person or per day, and a timesheet backup page.
Right contacts
Keeps separate contacts for approving time, requesting staff, and billing, so each message reaches the person who handles it. Messages keeps one thread with our scheduling team.

Questions about FSG Go.
How do schools approve agency timesheets and check the invoice?
With FocusedEDU, each approver gets one email on Monday with their own link. They tick the days that are right and approve with their name. The invoice then arrives with a Timesheet approvals PDF showing every day, who approved it, and when.
Do our approvers need an account or a password?
No. Each approver gets an email with their own link. It opens on a phone or a computer with no password.
What if a timesheet is wrong?
Choose Needs adjustment or Reject and add a note. It comes back to our team, we correct it, and it returns for approval.
How do we request a substitute?
Online, by building, position, full or half day, room, and who is being covered. Requests can repeat or be pasted in as a batch. You see who is coming, and fills are emailed and texted to your school contacts.
Can invoices match our district's format?
Yes. Invoice layouts are set per district: vendor number, fund and account codes, a row per person or per day, and a timesheet backup page.
