You pull up the daily timesheet in UKG/Kronos, but it’s missing tip entries for several employees. Others have clocked out incorrectly. Managers spend hours chasing down missing information while payroll deadlines loom.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many HR and payroll professionals face the same headache:

• Employees forget to record their tips.
• Managers have no easy way to identify missing data.
• Payroll teams spend hours fixing discrepancies.
• Compliance risk increases when reported earnings don’t match labor data.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, hospitality businesses lose over 10% of payroll efficiency due to incomplete or inaccurate tip reporting. That’s not just lost time — it’s lost money.

But what if you could automate the entire process, ensuring complete, accurate daily reports that include both hours and tips — directly within UKG/Kronos?

That’s where CloudApper AI TimeClock changes everything.

Why Manual Tip Tracking Slows You Down

Let’s be honest — traditional tip tracking relies heavily on memory, manual entry, and follow-ups.

• Employees forget to log tips after a long day.
• Managers must manually check timesheets to identify missing records.
• Payroll teams scramble to fix issues at the end of the week.

Even small errors can snowball into serious problems — from payroll delays to compliance penalties. Manual tracking systems simply weren’t built for the fast pace of today’s workforce.

You need a solution that ensures accuracy, accountability, and automation — all without adding more work.

How CloudApper Works (Step-By-Step)

Step 1: Mandatory Tip Entry at Clock-Out

Every employee is prompted to enter their daily tips when they clock out. This simple but powerful step ensures no one “forgets” to record their earnings.

CloudApper allows you to make this field mandatory — employees can’t complete their punch without filling it in.

Example:

Maria, a server, finishes her shift and goes to clock out. Before confirming, she’s prompted: “Enter today’s tips.” She inputs $110 — and the entry syncs instantly with UKG.

No reminders. No missing data. Just clean, compliant records.

Step 2: Automatic Alerts for Missing Entries

If someone still misses their entry — say a punch is incomplete or a tip entry is skipped — CloudApper automatically notifies the manager.

Managers receive alerts instantly, giving them the chance to correct the issue before payroll processing.

Result: fewer back-and-forth messages, faster resolution, and less administrative noise.

Step 3: Generate End-of-Day Summary Reports

At the close of each day, CloudApper generates a Daily Hours and Tips Report that includes:

• Total hours worked per employee
• Reported tips (or missing entries)
• Timesheet profiles
• Work locations and departments

Managers get a complete picture in seconds, ensuring payroll accuracy and labor compliance.

You can even schedule reports to be emailed automatically at the end of each shift or day — no manual pulling required.

Real-World Example: Restaurant Payroll Simplified

Let’s take Sarah, a restaurant manager overseeing a 40-person team. Every week, she struggled to reconcile timesheets and tips — often finding mismatched data during payroll.

After adopting CloudApper AI TimeClock, Sarah set up a simple workflow:

• Employees must enter tips when clocking out.
• Managers get real-time alerts for missing tips.
• End-of-day reports are auto-generated and synced with UKG Ready.

The result?

• Tip reporting compliance jumped from 72% to 99%.
• Payroll prep time dropped from 3 hours to 20 minutes.
• Her team no longer needed manual follow-ups.

Sarah now runs smoother payroll cycles — every time.
