  • Employee no-shows significantly impact operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and profitability.

The Challenge of Unplanned Absences

With over 2000 employees, the auto service center initially relied on a free browser-based timekeeping system. While functional, it lacked features for streamlined PTO management. This led to several challenges:

  • Unforeseen Absences: Employees had limited visibility into their accrued PTO balances, making it difficult to plan time off effectively. This resulted in last-minute requests or unplanned absences, disrupting service schedules.

  • Disgruntled Staff: Uncertainty about PTO availability could lead to frustration and resentment, impacting employee morale.
  • Lost Productivity: Employee no-shows created scheduling gaps and disrupted workflows, hindering productivity and customer service.

CloudApper AI TimeClock, seamlessly integrated with the UKG/Kronos platform, emerged as the ideal solution for tackling employee no-shows. Here’s how CloudApper empowered employees and dramatically reduced unplanned absences:

  • Real-Time PTO Tracking: CloudApper integrates with existing HR systems, allowing employees to view their PTO accrual balances directly on the time clock device (iPad or Android tablet) during clock in/out.
  • Informed Decisions: This real-time access empowers employees to make informed decisions about requesting time off. They can avoid disappointment by scheduling vacations or personal days when they have sufficient accrued hours.
  • Reduced “Use It or Lose It” Scenarios: Transparent PTO tracking minimizes the risk of employees losing unused PTO due to “use it or lose it” policies. This encourages responsible PTO management and reduces the likelihood of last-minute requests to avoid losing accrued time.

A study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reveals that 40% of employees lose some or all of their accrued PTO due to a lack of awareness or inefficient tracking systems. This can lead to employee no-shows and decreased morale.

While reducing employee no-shows was a major benefit, CloudApper’s UKG/Kronos TimeClock offered a multitude of additional advantages for the auto service center: Real-time data on employee availability empowers managers to create more accurate and efficient schedules, ensuring adequate staffing levels for peak service hours.  CloudApper empowers employees with self-service features like PTO request submission directly on the time clock device. This fosters a sense of control over work schedules and improves overall employee satisfaction. Automated PTO tracking reduces the need for manual calculations and administrative tasks for HR teams, freeing up valuable time for strategic initiatives.
