How a 500+ Employee Amusement Group Closed a Workforce Coverage Gap by Extending Their UKG System

FACE Amusement needed shift coverage and time capture to keep pace with a business built on guest experience, not manual processes. CloudApper AI extended its UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions) system with a process layer that automated shift communications, captured punches through facial recognition, and enabled automatic work rule transfers, cutting missed punches by more than 80% without adding headcount or waiting on a vendor roadmap.

The challenge

When manual shift coverage couldn't keep up with a guest-first business

FACE Amusement operates family attractions, themed adventures, and boutique arcades, with a workforce of more than 500 employees who directly shape the guest experience. Every open shift, every missed punch, and every manual work rule correction pulled managers away from the work that actually mattered: making sure guests left with a great experience.

The gap wasn’t UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions) itself. It was everything that had to happen manually around it, chasing down shift confirmations, re-keying punches, and correcting work rule assignments by hand.

Shift coverage depended on manual outreach

Supervisors had no automated way to confirm attendance before a shift or line up replacement coverage when someone couldn’t make it.

Missed punches were eating into payroll accuracy

Missed punches averaged 25-30% per week, creating rework for managers and payroll errors for employees.

Work rule transfers and attestations required manual handling

Employees moving between roles needed their time coded to the correct work rule, and compliance attestations added another manual step.

The solution

A workforce process layer built into UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions), on any tablet, without new logins

CloudApper AI extended FACE Amusement’s UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions) system with hrPad, a process layer that runs on any Android tablet or iPad. hrPad sends AI-powered SMS shift confirmations before every shift, automatically offers open shifts to qualified employees, and captures punches through facial recognition, writing everything back to UKG automatically.

This is where the specific task appears: shift communications and time capture. CloudApper AI did not replace UKG or ask FACE Amusement to manage a separate system. It closed the workforce gap around UKG, so shift coverage and payroll accuracy could run without manual chasing.

Holiday and overtime interactions
Holiday pay interacted with overtime calculations in ways no existing payroll template handled — leading to underpayments that went undetected for weeks.

The results

What FACE Amusement gained by closing the workforce gap inside UKG

The impact went well beyond fixing missed punches. FACE Amusement gave managers back the hours they used to spend chasing shift coverage and correcting timecards, gave employees a faster and more reliable way to confirm shifts and get paid accurately, and gave leadership a workforce system that finally moved at the speed the business needed, without adding headcount or waiting on a vendor roadmap.
