Automated UKG Timecard Exception Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens UKG, reviews the prior day's timecards for missing punches and unapproved overtime, archives the dated exception report to Google Drive, and posts a Slack digest so the workforce management team can clear it before payroll cutoff.

In short

How do I catch UKG timecard exceptions before payroll cutoff?

WebRun reviews UKG every morning for missing punches and unapproved overtime from the day before, archives the dated exception report to Google Drive, and posts a Slack digest to the workforce management team. Every exception gets cleared before payroll cutoff instead of surfacing as a payroll error afterward.

  • Timecard exceptions get caught the morning after, not at payroll close
  • A dated exception record archived every day in Google Drive
  • The workforce team starts the day with a clear cutoff checklist

Questions, answered

Does WebRun approve timecards or overtime?

No. It only flags exceptions and reports them. Approving hours or overtime always stays a manual step inside UKG for the supervisor.

Does it message the employee about the missing punch?

No. The digest goes to the workforce management team in Slack. WebRun never contacts the employee directly.

How far back does the report look?

Just the prior day's timecards, so the digest stays focused on what needs clearing before the next payroll cutoff.
