by Paul Devlin

 

Today, we’re diving into the world of Paid Time Off (PTO) management – a topic close to the heart of every employer and employee. Let’s face it, managing PTO with the good old-fashioned honesty policy or traditional vacation allocation methods can feel like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded. It’s time to shed some light on how APlus Payroll, powered by UKG, is making it a walk in the park instead of a trek through the wilderness.

  • Old-School Vacation Allocation Woes: Fixed vacation blocks without real-time tracking? It can lead to over-allocations, underutilization, and a whole lot of administrative headaches.
