An employee, such as a call center agent, is monitored for compliance with a work schedule based on their work location. The call center agent's physical location is periodically monitored by a schedule adherence system that includes a mobile device executing a mobile application. Location information associated with that agent is compared with location information when the agent is working during their scheduled shift. A significant deviation from the known location may be reported as a potential deviation from a defined work schedule for that employee. The call center agent can also be monitored prior to the beginning of a shift to determine if the agent will be arriving at work in time to begin their shift as scheduled. Substitute agents may be scheduled and notified in time to fill the position of the late agent.
