Jefferson County School District Streamlines Workforce Management, Reporting, and Compliance with UKG

Jefferson County School District, the second largest in Alabama, serves more than 36,000 students.

Since implementing its UKG solution, Jefferson County School District has mitigated its compliance issues, streamlined the payroll process, helped ensure employees are paid correctly and for their actual time worked, and improved productivity.

With UKG Jefferson County School District:

• Captures all regular and overtime hours, improving compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and wage and hour rules.
• Better complies with reporting requirements, including the state-mandated Continuous Improvement Plan report on teacher absences, which has been streamlined with the automated solution.
• Easily tracks leave types, helping administrators create strategies to reduce teacher days out of the classroom — in support of improved student performance.

With UKG, Jefferson County School District saw a 30% increase in teachers' professional development time over a three year period, and in turn showed areas where they can improve and keep teachers in the classroom with kids. Additionally, leave time liability decreased 7% during the first seven months and the payroll process was reduced from two weeks to just 20 minutes.
