US Fuel Merchant Uses UKG/Kronos Time Clock to Ensure Rest Break Compliance

Ensuring a happy and healthy workforce is critical for any business, but especially so in the fast-paced environment of fuel retail. Fuel merchants with large employee bases spread across numerous stations face a unique challenge: ensuring rest break compliance for all employees, particularly minors. Not only is this crucial for employee well-being and morale, but it’s also essential for maintaining compliance with labor laws. 

Labor laws around the different states of the US mandate rest breaks for employees, with specific requirements often applying to minors. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), non-compliance with rest breaks laws can lead to hefty fines and employee lawsuits. For fuel merchants with a large workforce, these consequences can be significant, impacting both finances and the company’s reputation.

A Major US Fuel Merchant Prioritizes Compliance with CloudApper

A leading US fuel merchant with over 5,000 employees across hundreds of stations nationwide, recognized the importance of ensuring rest break compliance. They were committed to creating a work environment that prioritized employee well-being while also adhering to all labor regulations. However, their existing timekeeping system lacked the features needed to automate and enforce rest breaks, posing a potential compliance risk.

CloudApper AI TimeClock emerged as the ideal solution for their needs. This innovative platform seamlessly integrates with UKG Pro WFM, the fuel merchant’s existing workforce management system. Here’s how CloudApper helped them achieve consistent rest break compliance:

• Automated Break Reminders: CloudApper allows for the configuration of automated break reminders. Employees receive notifications on their time clock devices, prompting them to take their mandated breaks. This ensures employees know their break rights and encourages them to take necessary rest periods.
• Flexible Break Management: CloudApper offers flexible break management features. Employers can set specific break durations based on employee age and location, ensuring compliance with varying labor regulations. This allows for a customized approach to break enforcement, catering to the fuel merchant’s and its employees’ specific needs.

HR teams can monitor rest break compliance across all stations and proactively identify potential issues. This allows for quick intervention and ensures consistent enforcement of break policies.

While ensuring rest break compliance was a critical factor for the fuel merchant, CloudApper AI TimeClock offers many additional benefits for fuel retail HR professionals: Automated break reminders empower employees to manage their breaks effectively, promoting overall well-being and satisfaction.
