• Compliance and Attestation: Automate time tracking, payroll, and attestation to ensure compliance with labor laws, reducing the risk of fines and legal issues.

UKG solutions address critical compliance areas such as Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, and Hours of Service (HOS) rules. For logistics organizations, UKG offers several specific benefits, including: 

• FMCSA Regulations: UKG helps ensure compliance with FMCSA regulations by automating driver qualification file management and monitoring driver hours. This reduces the risk of violations related to driver fitness and hours of service.
• OSHA Standards: UKG’s safety management tools assist logistics companies in adhering to OSHA standards. For example, UKG can track and report workplace incidents, ensuring timely corrective actions and reducing workplace hazards.
• Hours of Service (HOS) Rules: UKG automates the tracking of driver hours to comply with HOS rules, preventing drivers from exceeding legal driving limits. This helps avoid penalties and ensures driver safety by reducing fatigue.
• Automated Alerts: UKG provides automated alerts for upcoming compliance deadlines and potential violations. For instance, if a driver’s certification is about to expire, the system will notify managers in advance, ensuring timely renewals.
• Comprehensive Reporting: UKG’s comprehensive reporting features allow logistics companies to generate detailed compliance reports. These reports can be used during audits to demonstrate adherence to labor laws and regulations, minimizing the risk of fines and legal issues.

Implementing a global pay system offers several key advantages for logistics companies: 

• Consistency and Fairness: A global pay system ensures that employees across different regions are compensated fairly and consistently. This helps maintain equity and transparency within your organization, which is essential for employee satisfaction and retention.
• Compliance with Local Regulations: Logistics companies often operate in multiple countries, each with its own labor laws and regulations. A global pay system helps ensure compliance with these diverse legal requirements, reducing the risk of fines and legal issues.
• Operational Efficiency: Managing payroll through a unified global system streamlines administrative processes, reduces errors, and saves time. This efficiency is particularly beneficial in the fast-paced logistics industry where timely and accurate payroll processing is critical.
• Cost Management: A global pay system allows logistics companies to better manage and forecast labor costs across different regions. This can lead to more effective budgeting and financial planning.

UKG solutions provide comprehensive tools to manage union agreements by automating compliance tracking, grievance handling, and contract management. For example, UKG can track specific terms of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) such as wage scales, seniority rules, and shift differentials, ensuring that all contractual obligations are met accurately.
