For workforce managers, open shifts are more than just empty schedule slots — they’re operational risks. A single unfilled shift can delay production, cause compliance headaches, and hurt customer satisfaction. Yet, manually notifying employees, checking availability, and tracking responses often takes hours — sometimes days.

According to the Workforce Institute, 67% of managers spend more than three hours per week managing open shifts manually.
That’s valuable time lost that could be spent optimizing labor costs or improving service quality.
UKG Ready users already rely on one of the most robust HCM systems available. But when it comes to managing dynamic, last-minute staffing changes, many still turn to emails, spreadsheets, or group messages — tools that simply don’t scale.
That’s where CloudApper AI TimeClock steps in — turning open shift management into an automated, real-time process that fills positions faster and keeps schedules balanced.
The Solution: Automate Open Shift Notifications in UKG Ready
CloudApper AI TimeClock is an intelligent workforce management solution that integrates directly with UKG Ready to automate how open shifts are identified, communicated, and filled.
Instead of manually posting openings or chasing employees, managers can now:
- Identify open shifts instantly within the CloudApper dashboard.
- Send automated notifications to qualified, available employees via SMS, email, or Slack.
- Receive real-time confirmations — the first employee to accept gets assigned automatically.
No spreadsheets. No missed messages. No delays.
💬 “Since deploying CloudApper AI for open shift alerts, our fill rate jumped 82% within the first month.”

How It Works: From Open Shift to Assigned in Minutes
1. Detect Shift Gaps Automatically
CloudApper AI TimeClock pulls data from your UKG Ready schedules in real time, identifying uncovered shifts, call-outs, or last-minute cancellations.
2. AI-Driven Matching
The system uses AI to evaluate employees by skills, location, availability, and compliance requirements — ensuring only qualified staff receive notifications.
3. Smart Notifications
Once a gap is detected, CloudApper automatically notifies employees through preferred channels (SMS, email, or Slack).
4. One-Click Acceptance
Employees can accept open shifts directly from the notification. The first responder is automatically assigned to the shift, and UKG Ready updates instantly.
5. Seamless UKG Sync
All accepted shifts sync back into UKG Ready, ensuring timesheets, attendance, and payroll data remain accurate — without manual entry.
