UKG AutoTime is a workforce management software designed specifically for government contractors to ensure compliance with DCAA audit requirements. Formerly known as Kronos Workforce AutoTime, this solution simplifies labor and attendance tracking, automates timekeeping processes, and provides a centralized platform for managing employee data. It is widely used in the defense and aerospace industries to accurately track product labor costs and streamline workforce management.
What is UKG AutoTime?
UKG AutoTime is a comprehensive workforce management system designed for aerospace and defense companies. It leverages MES integration (Manufacturing Execution System) to measure employee performance, delivering real-time data that assists teams in optimizing business operations.
Overview of UKG AutoTime
Single Platform
Users can schedule, manage, and track time within a comprehensive workforce management solution, simplifying business processes and empowering employees to take control of their own experience. To do this, UKG uses an MES that oversees data flow and helps employees accept work tasks, view job instructions, track their time, and report on projects.
Time and Labor Tracking
UKG AutoTime can accurately track product labor and labor costs, displaying all related information on a single screen through integrated timesheets. With automatic and ongoing updates of labor data within your ERP system, you can assess work and keep track of important details regarding a specific work task or an employee’s work schedule.
Accurate Product Labor Costs
With customizable total time accounting (TTA) functions, you can ensure that the rates for salaried employees are divided accurately among multiple contracts. Total time accounting ensures that charges for government contracts remain accurate and reliable, no matter what.
9/80 Work Schedules
9/80 schedules were introduced for government contractors, as they enhance employee engagement and mitigate the risk of burnout. Organizations that hire employees on alternative schedules consisting of eight 9-hour days spread over two weeks must track this time accurately to avoid excess overtime charges. This not only reduces unnecessary costs for your organization, but it also helps your teams maintain compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, as outlined by the Department of Labor.
Simple Payroll Processing
UKG AutoTime features a powerful engine that enables it to accurately and efficiently calculate all employee payroll information within the same solution. It also automatically transfers all employee payroll information to the payroll provider, improving efficiencies and reducing the risk of error.
Self-Service Employees
By providing employees with access to job tasks, schedules, timecards, and time-off requests, self-service features in the UKG AutoTime solution empower employees to participate in areas that involve them the most.
Reduced Exposure to Compliance and Customer Needs
With automated tracking of DCAA regulations, rules, and procedures, companies can reduce the risk for safety violations and liability issues across teams.
