How does GroupPunch work?

The UKG GroupPunch is very useful for Crew Leaders or Supervisors who supervise their Crew or Employee Punches. It allows the Crew Leaders/Supervisors to clock the employees in and out in bulk with just a few clicks. The workflow of the app is described below:
1. GroupPunch app fires the REST API Connectors to sync the employee list, employee details, projects, jobs, and tasks from UKG.
2. When Crew Leaders/Supervisors have gathered their Crew Members/Employees to work on a specific project, the Crew Leaders/Supervisor assigns the Crew Members/Employees particular jobs and tasks for the day.
3. The Crew Member/Employee punch-in time is automatically captured when the jobs and tasks are assigned to them
4. Once all the Crew Members are selected and their jobs and tasks are assigned, the data is sent to UKG using REST API Connectors. The punch-in time data of each employee is individually sent to their respective timecards.
5. If the crew member or employee is assigned to a new job and task, the employee is automatically punched out from the previous job and task. The data is instantaneously synced with UKG in that employee's respective timecard.
6. If a crew member or employee is done with his/her shift early, the Crew Leader/Supervisor has the option to punch-out that employee/crew member individually or assign him/her to a new job and task.
7. Once all the Crew Members/Employees are done with their tasks, the Crew Leader/Supervisor can bulk punch-out all the employees at once.
8. Once everyone is punched out, the data is then sent to UKG to sync with timecards of each individual employee.
