Q: What exactly is payroll double billing?

Payroll double billing happens when employees’ work hours are recorded more than once during payroll processing. It could result from duplicate punches, overlapping shifts, or entries logged from multiple systems. The consequence is simple—employees may be overpaid, and organizations lose money without realizing it.

Q: Is this a common problem?

Yes, especially in companies that manage large workforces across departments or locations. When time is tracked using different tools—such as badge readers, tablets, or spreadsheets—entries can easily overlap if there’s no validation layer in place. Without safeguards, this leads to payroll double billing.

Q: How does CloudApper’s AI TimeClock for UKG/Kronos help?

CloudApper’s AI TimeClock ensures that time punches are accurate, unique, and validated before reaching payroll. It works alongside UKG/Kronos systems, enhancing them by offering centralized time data capture and intelligent filtering of duplicate or conflicting records.

Here’s how it helps avoid payroll double billing:

  • Removes Duplicate Entries: Detects and flags repeated punches automatically.
  • Prevents Overlapping Shifts: Identifies time entries that shouldn’t occur together.
  • Centralizes Time Tracking: Combines data from all sources—badges, biometrics, QR scans—into one clean system.
  • Validates Entries in Real Time: Ensures only approved hours reach payroll.

Q: Does it replace UKG/Kronos?

No. CloudApper’s AI TimeClock is designed to complement your UKG/Kronos solution. It enhances your existing setup by adding a powerful validation layer that ensures time entries are correct and conflict-free before they’re processed.

Q: Why is payroll double billing such a risk?

Even a few instances of duplicated time can result in thousands of dollars in overpayments each month. Over time, this becomes a major financial drain. Beyond the costs, there’s also the risk of noncompliance, internal disputes, and lost productivity due to corrections and reconciliations.
