## Homebase Assistant Launch
Homebase began a limited rollout of Homebase Assistant on Oct 20 for businesses with hourly staff to seek shift coverage and catch timecard problems before payroll.

When an employee calls out, the assistant identifies available workers and contacts potential replacements using the owner’s preferences and historical information.
## Timecard Checks Before Payroll
The assistant flags missing punches and other timecard issues for owners to resolve ahead of payroll, identifying overtime patterns and schedule discrepancies.
## Key takeaway

Homebase Assistant, launched Oct 20, helps businesses with hourly staff find replacements and catch timecard issues before payroll.
