If you're managing shift workers in Southern California, July 1 brings another round of minimum wage increases. Here are a few notable changes:

• Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and San Diego all see increases
• Hotel workers in LA hit $25/hour
• Healthcare workers under SB 525 step up again

And under the 2024 PAGA reform, it's not enough to pay the right rate — you have to be able to prove you paid the right rate. Not only is this a lot to track manually across a frontline workforce, but inaccurate time tracking multiplies the compliance risk on top of all the incoming changes.

“We learned that what seems free is not always free. And it’s not always the most efficient way to do things.”
— Sarita Kumari, Head of Digital/Change Management, Autism Plus

United Kingdom-based nonprofit Autism Plus struggled to keep up with 24/7 staffing and 450+ employees using paper timecards and schedules alone. When they needed a change, they went with Humanity Schedule for:

• Improved scheduling accuracy and reduced manual entry
• Automated job costing aligned with real-time payroll data
• Greater visibility into contract delivery and billable hours
• More flexible scheduling that supports employee wellbeing

“Employees are happy because it’s less work and more accurate pay, and as an organization, it helps ensure we are paid accurately by clients. It’s a win-win.”

Summer staffing cash flow problems are usually scheduling problems in disguise:

• Unplanned overtime
• Reactive vacation coverage
• Shifts that run long all add up before anyone notices

But by the time they’re noticed, the damage is done. Getting your schedule right before the season starts is the simplest lever you have for keeping labor costs where you planned them.

Are you managing scheduling and time tracking separately? It might seem manageable, but it often creates more problems than it solves.

When your solutions aren’t connected, teams end up reconciling schedules with timesheets manually, leading to errors, delays, and extra administrative work.

But bringing both together changes how teams operate:

• Schedules and actual hours stay aligned
• Payroll becomes more accurate and consistent
• Compliance risks are easier to manage
• Managers gain real-time visibility into workforce activity

Here, we explore why it makes sense for your scheduling and time tracking to work together:

Over 830 fast food workers in New York City are getting $1.8 million in restitution for Fair Workweek law violations.

The city claims employers failed to give advance notice of schedules, didn’t compensate properly for clopenings, and made last-minute changes without consulting employees.

While NYC’s Fair Workweek laws aren’t reflected across the US, this settlement is a reminder of the growing adoption of predictive scheduling laws and the consequences of violating them:

Finding a substitute teacher shouldn’t start with a 5 a.m. call. But for many schools, that’s still the reality: last-minute calls, missed messages, and a mad dash to fill classrooms.

Automated substitute management changes that. With it, your schools can:

• Match absences with available, qualified substitutes automatically
• Give teachers visibility into leave balances and requests
• Help administrators track absence trends and fill rates
• Give substitutes more flexibility and visibility into assignments

Instead of chasing coverage, staff can focus on keeping classrooms running smoothly.

Here, we break down how it works within TimeClock Plus:
