Missed punches can cause payroll delays, compliance risks, and employee frustration. That’s why more organizations are focusing on solving missed punch issues using attestation. For UKG users, CloudApper hrPad is a powerful tool that simplifies and automates this process. It helps prevent missed punch issues using attestation by collecting real-time feedback, triggering alerts, and keeping records accurate.

CloudApper hrPad works alongside UKG to create flexible, punch-based workflows. It allows employees to answer quick questions at punch-in and punch-out, helping HR and managers catch problems early.

Custom Attestation at Punch In

hrPad can show a single attestation question right after an employee punches in. This question can ask if they missed a punch, arrived late, or had trouble clocking in earlier. It’s a simple step that prevents bigger issues later.

This early prompt gives employees a chance to speak up right away. It also discourages buddy punching and time fraud since the system collects personal responses tied to each punch.

Multiple Prompts at Punch Out

At the end of the shift, hrPad can show several attestation questions. These might include: Did you take your break? Did you miss any meals? Was there any incident during your shift? This gives employees a final chance to report issues before they leave.

These questions are fully customizable. You can change them based on department, job role, or location. That way, employees only see what’s relevant to them.

Instant Manager Alerts

If an employee reports a problem—like a missed punch or skipped break—hrPad sends a notification to their manager. The alert can go through email, mobile push, or dashboard updates.

This helps managers respond quickly, fix time records, and ensure labor rules are followed—without waiting for manual reviews.

Smart Attestations Based on Hours Worked

One of hrPad’s most helpful features is logic-based prompts. You can set attestation to appear only when employees cross certain thresholds. For example, if someone works more than six hours, hrPad can ask about meal breaks.

If the employee says they missed one, the system can trigger a meal penalty code and alert the manager. This keeps you in line with labor laws and prevents compliance penalties.

A Seamless UKG Add-On

CloudApper hrPad isn’t a replacement—it’s a smart expansion of UKG. While UKG handles core time tracking, hrPad makes it more interactive. It adds extra layers of compliance, visibility, and employee engagement.

It helps ensure that issues like missed punches don’t go unnoticed or unresolved—saving time, money, and stress for everyone involved.
