CloudApper hrPad enhances Workday by ensuring accurate location-based time tracking and compliance. It integrates with tablets to map punches, transfers, and attestations to Workday's location hierarchy, improving payroll precision and operational efficiency.
For Workday users, maintaining accurate location hierarchies is essential to ensure precise payroll processing, legal compliance, and meaningful workforce reporting. However, many organizations struggle to operationalize these hierarchies across their frontline workforce. The challenge is particularly acute in industries with dispersed locations, mobile employees, high turnover, or dynamic shift patterns—where traditional time clocks often fail to keep pace with real-world needs.
Enter CloudApper hrPad, an AI-powered tablet-based HR service delivery solution that seamlessly integrates with Workday. By transforming any iOS, Windows or Android tablet into a smart, location-aware device, hrPad ensures that every punch, work transfer, and compliance attestation is accurately mapped to Workday’s location hierarchy in real time.
When organizations load their location hierarchies into Workday via EIB or other integrations, the next hurdle is ensuring that frontline data—such as time punches—respects and reflects those hierarchies. If an employee clocks in at the wrong site or if location changes are not captured during job transfers, downstream impacts on payroll, labor costing, compliance, and analytics can be significant. hrPad addresses this by embedding location intelligence directly into the employee experience. Employees use hrPad to clock in and out, transfer between cost centers, and submit attestations at the point of work—all while the system enforces accurate mapping to the Workday-defined locations and organizational structure.
To understand where hrPad fits into the overall Workday ecosystem, consider the following operational needs and how hrPad enhances them:
![]()
| Operational Need | How hrPad Helps Workday Users |
|---|---|
| Accurate time punches per location | Ensures punches are always tagged to the correct Workday location, using location-aware tablets and authentication. |
| Dynamic cost center transfers | Allows employees to transfer to different cost centers or jobs mid-shift, with all data mapped to Workday. |
| Compliance attestations | Captures attestations (e.g. meal breaks) at clock out, tied to location-specific compliance requirements. |
| Location-based reporting | Guarantees that labor data in Workday reflects actual worksite activity, improving auditability. |
| Mobile/seasonal site coverage | Provides flexibility to deploy hrPad on tablets at new or temporary locations without costly hardware investments. |
FACE Amusement Group provides a strong example of how this works in practice. Operating a diverse portfolio of entertainment venues across multiple locations, FACE Amusement needed a way to streamline shift communications, accurately capture time punches, and automate work rule transfers, all while ensuring compliance and payroll accuracy. By implementing CloudApper hrPad in conjunction with Workday, FACE Amusement empowered its employees to clock in/out using facial recognition, receive AI-powered shift notifications, and submit attestations that are fully mapped to the appropriate Workday location structures. The result was a seamless flow of accurate, location-based workforce data into Workday, which improved both payroll precision and operational efficiency.

For Workday customers seeking to improve the accuracy, flexibility, and compliance of their location-based time tracking, hrPad offers a proven, scalable solution that connects strategic HR structures with real-world workforce activity.
