Substitute shortages disrupt classrooms across the country. However, outdated processes make the situation worse. When teachers call out, many school administrators still rely on spreadsheets, phone trees, or multiple systems to find coverage. This leads to unnecessary delays, last-minute decisions, and lost instructional time.

For districts using UKG, there’s a better option. CloudApper’s Substitute Request Management Solution simplifies absence coverage from start to finish—without adding extra systems or complexity. Built specifically for UKG users, it enhances your existing setup with automation, real-time communication, and better visibility.
Why Traditional Substitute Management Creates Problems
Many school districts still manage absences with manual methods. This creates a range of challenges:
-
Teachers submit requests through emails or paper forms.
-
Admins search for substitutes manually.
-
There’s no easy way to match roles with qualified substitutes.
-
Payroll and reporting often require additional cleanup.
As a result, staff wastes valuable time, coverage remains uncertain, and students may lose instruction.
CloudApper + UKG Ready = Smarter Coverage
Instead of adding another standalone app, CloudApper integrates directly with UKG Ready. It works behind the scenes to automate absence workflows and make substitute coordination fast and reliable.
When a staff member submits an absence, CloudApper instantly routes it for approval. At the same time, it notifies qualified substitutes via SMS. Substitutes can respond right away, and administrators can track every update within UKG—no need to leave the system.
