The days of stifling time clocks that were confined to the walls of an office are long gone. In today’s workforce, flexibility is imperative, and along with it comes the need for precise time tracking solutions that are not limited by physical boundaries. One area in which CloudApper AI TimeClock excels is in its ability to integrate without any complications with UKG Ready/Pro and to provide powerful geo-fencing capabilities for employees who are constantly on the move.

What is Geo-Fencing?

In order to create virtual perimeters around specific locations, geo-fencing makes use of global positioning system (GPS) technology. The activities of an employee’s timekeeping are automatically recorded within UKG Ready/Pro whenever the employee enters or exits a geo-fence that has been prepared in advance. Because of this, there is no longer a requirement for physical time clocks, and accurate time capture is guaranteed, even for teams that are mobile, dispersed, or remote.

Does UKG Pro/Ready Time Clock Offer Geo Fencing?

Unfortunately, UKG Pro and Ready time clocks themselves don’t offer built-in geo-fencing capabilities. Geo-fencing requires software solutions to create virtual perimeters and capture time based on employee location.

However, the good news is that you have options! Several software solutions integrate with UKG Pro and Ready, offering geo-fencing functionality. Popular options include:

  • CloudApper AI TimeClock: Seamlessly integrates with UKG, providing intuitive geo-fence setup and automatic data sync.
  • Third-party timekeeping apps: Many standalone apps offer geo-fencing features and integrate with different time clock systems.
  • Custom integrations: Consider working with a developer to build a custom integration if your specific needs aren’t met by existing solutions.

Remember, exploring these options can offer the flexibility and accuracy of geo-fencing even if your UKG system doesn’t have it natively.

Why is Geo-Fencing Important?

For UKG Ready/Pro users, geo-fencing offers several critical advantages:

  • Enhanced Accuracy: Eliminating the need for manual time entries and the potential errors that are associated with traditional methods results in improved accuracy.
  • Enhancement of Compliance: Ensure that time records for geographically dispersed teams are accurate, thereby reducing the risks associated with compliance.
  • Increased Flexibility: Fostering a more flexible work environment can be accomplished by providing employees with the ability to clock in and out from any location within the boundaries of the designated area.
  • Streamlined Payroll: Through the implementation of streamlined payroll, discrepancies and manual adjustments can be eliminated, resulting in payroll processing that is both smoother and more efficient.
  • Boost Employee Satisfaction: Provide employees with flexible time tracking options that are tailored to modern work styles. This will improve employee engagement and morale, which will in turn boost employee satisfaction.

How CloudApper AI TimeClock Makes it Simple

Integrating CloudApper with UKG Ready/Pro is remarkably user-friendly. Here’s how to activate geo-fencing features:

  1. Define Geo-Fences: In order to define geo-fences, you need only designate physical locations (such as offices, client sites, and so on) on a map within the user-friendly interface of CloudApper.
  2. Define Geo-Fences: Simply designate physical locations (offices, client sites, etc.) on a map within CloudApper’s intuitive interface.
  3. Assign Employees: Determine which employees or groups will be using geo-fencing for their time tracking, and then select those employees or groups.
  4. Allow the Permissions: For increased flexibility, it is important to determine whether employees can clock in and out only within the geo-fence or even while they are going outside.

CloudApper achieves a seamless integration with UKG Ready/Pro, which guarantees that all time punches that are captured through geo-fences are automatically synchronized and reflected in the payroll system that you are currently using.
