How CloudApper’s AI-Powered RAG Eliminates HR Policy Confusion for UKG Users

UKG leads the workforce and HCM space, managing everything from time tracking to compliance across industries. However, many organizations still face a familiar challenge when it comes to policy communication. Employees repeatedly ask the same questions, and HR teams spend valuable time responding to each one manually.

Although the information lives in handbooks, PDFs, and internal documentation, employees struggle to access it when they need it most. This isn’t a shortcoming of UKG but rather a visibility gap. CloudApper hrPad fills that gap by using AI-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It enhances UKG by turning static policy documents into real-time, conversational answers.

The Challenge: Repetitive HR Questions Slow Everyone Down

Even with well-documented policies, employees often can’t find answers fast enough. They frequently ask about leave eligibility, scheduling rules, or payroll timing—questions that pile up quickly and drain HR resources.

In organizations with distributed teams or 24/7 operations, these delays compound. HR spends hours each week on low-value tickets. Meanwhile, employees lose time and become frustrated waiting for basic information. As a result, what should be a self-service experience becomes a recurring obstacle that interrupts productivity.

Why Traditional Methods Fall Short

Organizations often store policy documents as PDFs or in internal portals linked to UKG. While comprehensive, these resources aren’t built for fast access. Most employees won’t scan through a lengthy manual just to understand a PTO policy. And even when they try, basic search tools often return too many results—or the wrong ones—without context.

So, while documentation exists, employees don’t interact with it effectively. They turn to HR instead, creating more inefficiency. This is where a smarter, more accessible approach becomes essential.

The Solution: HR Policy RAG with CloudApper, Purpose-Built for UKG

CloudApper introduces HR Policy RAG through its AI-powered CloudApper hrPad solution. RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation, equips an AI assistant to search through your company’s internal policy documents and generate clear, policy-based responses in real time.

When an employee asks a question in natural language, the assistant quickly identifies the most relevant content and replies with a direct, contextual answer. It doesn’t guess or use pre-written scripts. Instead, it draws from your organization’s actual policies and delivers accurate responses that employees can rely on immediately.

Most importantly, UKG backs this capability. CloudApper hrPad doesn’t replace or compete with UKG—it complements and extends it. Together, they create a more responsive and efficient HR experience.

Seamless Integration Within the UKG Environment

CloudApper’s AI assistant works alongside UKG Ready or UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions), and it does so without disrupting your existing workflows. HR transactions like time punches, PTO requests, and labor transfers continue flowing through UKG. What changes is the employee experience—now enhanced by on-demand support.

You can deploy CloudApper hrPad on iPads or Android tablets, making it ideal for use at clock-in stations or break areas. Frontline teams gain instant access to policy clarity without needing to call HR or submit a ticket.

Why It Matters to Extending the Value of UKG with Intelligent Support

CloudApper proudly delivers the only AI-powered RAG solution officially supported by UKG. CloudApper hrPad serves as an intelligent, trusted layer that enhances the accessibility, accuracy, and impact of your HR policies.

By deploying HR Policy RAG, UKG customers reduce repetitive inquiries, improve compliance, and boost the overall employee experience. At the same time, HR teams regain bandwidth to focus on strategic initiatives rather than answering the same questions repeatedly.

If your organization already uses UKG, you’ve laid the groundwork. CloudApper hrPad helps you build on that foundation by unlocking the power of AI to deliver policy clarity at scale—without complexity or disruption.
