The challenge
Required reporting was pulling time away from mission-focused work
The Arc of Essex County supports children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them participate more fully in society and improve independence and quality of life. That mission depends on strong administrative reliability as well as care delivery, because attendance documentation has to be accurate, consistent, and ready for review.
The organization had to meet strict attendance reporting standards mandated by the New Jersey Department of Education. Preparing precise bi-weekly reports required work-hour documentation that was time-consuming and exposed to manual errors. Any inaccuracy could create administrative risk and make it harder for teams to maintain continuous support.
NJ DOE reporting requirements
Required reports needed to match the format and standards set by the New Jersey Department of Education.
Manual error risk
Manual documentation increased the risk of inaccurate work-hour records and inconsistent reporting.
Mission impact
Reporting work pulled attention away from the organization’s core mission of delivering care and support.
The solution
CloudApper AI turned work-hour data into DOE-ready reporting inside the existing enterprise system
CloudApper AI created a process layer around UKG Ready that automatically captured work hours, filtered out irrelevant data, and generated reports in the exact format required by the NJ DOE. The work moved from manual report preparation to a repeatable, accurate workflow that supported both compliance and payroll transparency.
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.
