A lockout feels "administrative" when your paycheck depends on getting back on-site. One unresolved record can pause dispatch, freeze onboarding, or block a badge swipe, even when everyone agrees you're capable of working. Employees want a clear next step. Employers want the same, plus a paper trail that won't collapse during a client review. Third-party systems such as DISA, ASAP, or NASAP don't negotiate with context; they respond to entries, dates, and signatures.
