Managing labor costs is one of the biggest challenges for any organization. Even small timekeeping errors—like missing punches, early clock-ins, or late check-outs—can quickly add up to significant payroll discrepancies.
These errors don’t just impact budgets. They can lead to compliance risks, employee frustration, and time-consuming payroll corrections.

To stay compliant and cost-efficient, organizations need accurate, automated, and transparent time tracking. That’s where UKG Pro Timekeeping provides a strong foundation. However, when combined with CloudApper AI TimeClock, businesses unlock a comprehensive solution that elevates time management, accuracy, and employee engagement to the next level.
