Short answer

How can I use AI to audit my employee timesheets?

Your AI pulls live punch data from UKG Pro to flag missing punches, overlapping shifts, or incorrect entries. You get a clean list of discrepancies to review and resolve. This breakdown shows you how to set it up and what to ask.

Error categories

Where every issue lands.

The AI categorizes every discrepancy it finds into specific buckets for your review.

MISSING

Missing punch alerts

The AI identifies gaps where an employee clocked in but never clocked out. You get a list of specific timestamps that need attention.

ERRORS

Data entry mistakes

The agent flags impossible shifts or overlapping time entries. It highlights exactly which records violate your scheduling rules.

VALID

Clean timesheets

Records that pass all logic checks are marked as verified. This lets you ignore the noise and focus on the problems.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

Ambiguous entries that don't clearly violate a rule are sent to you. You decide if these require a conversation with the employee.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Instead of scrolling through rows of data, you let your agent scan the logs for you.

  1. Fetch punch logs

    The AI pulls the most recent clock-in and clock-out events directly from your UKG Pro instance.

  2. Identify gaps

    The agent compares punch pairs to find missing end-of-shift or start-of-shift timestamps.

  3. Flag anomalies

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the errors in UKG Pro for me?

    No. The AI can only read the data and identify errors. You must manually correct the timesheets in UKG Pro.

  • 02

    Does the AI see all my employee data?

    The AI only accesses the specific data points provided by the timesheets tool. It cannot see payroll details or personal files unless they are part of the punch logs.

  • 03

    Will it automatically notify employees about missing punches?

    No. The AI identifies the errors and presents them to you. It does not send messages to your staff.

  • 04

    How often does it pull new data?

    The AI pulls data in real time whenever you ask it to run a check or a report.

  • 05

    Can I use this to calculate payroll?

    The AI can help you find the data needed for payroll, but it does not perform the actual payroll calculations or processing.
