Labor Control in UKG (Kronos): A Guide to Optimizing Workforce Management with CloudApper AI

Effective labor control is crucial for any organization aiming to optimize its workforce management. Integrating CloudApper AI with UKG (Kronos) offers a robust solution designed to monitor employee work patterns and trigger timely notifications based on predefined criteria. This ensures efficient use of labor resources, adherence to budgeted hours, and improved operational efficiency. Here’s how it works:

Inconsistent Labor Monitoring

Many organizations need help with maintaining accurate labor control due to inconsistent monitoring and manual tracking processes. This often results in:

1. Budget Overruns: Employees exceeding their allocated hours without timely alerts.
2. Inefficiencies: Managers lack real-time insights into labor usage.
3. Compliance Issues: Difficulty in adhering to labor regulations and budget constraints.

CloudApper AI Integrated with UKG (Kronos)

CloudApper AI addresses these challenges with advanced features tailored to enhance labor control:

1. Employee Punch-In Analysis:
   • When an employee punches in, the system reviews their scheduled assignments over a specified period (e.g., the last two weeks).
   • It checks if their recent schedules align with the cost center they have just punched into.
2. Schedule and Cost Center Correlation:
   • The system evaluates whether the employee has exceeded the budgeted hours in their previous punches over the specified period.
   • This check is based on exceeding either a specific percentage of hours or a specific number of hours, and this must have occurred at least three times in the last two weeks.
3. Triggering a Notification:
   • Upon meeting the conditions, the system sends an automated text message to the employee by receiving data from UKG (Kronos).
   • The message includes the cost center name, total budgeted hours, and a prompt indicating they are nearing their allocated time.
4. Weekly Reporting for Managers and Supervisors:
   • Managers and supervisors receive a detailed report at the end of each week, showing the frequency and context of notifications sent to employees.
5. Selective Exclusion Capability:
   • The tool can be easily turned off for certain employees or cost centers, managed through an exclusion list.
6. Language Customization:
   • Messages are sent in the employee’s default language as set within the UKG (Kronos) system.

Example Scenario:

Imagine a factory where employees are assigned to different departments (cost centers). When an employee starts their shift, the system checks their past work hours to see if they have exceeded the planned hours. If they have frequently gone over budgeted hours, the system will notify them via text message to remind them of their scheduled end time. Managers receive weekly reports on these notifications to help them manage their teams better. Additionally, certain employees or departments can be excluded from this monitoring if needed, and all messages are sent in the employees’ preferred language.
