Did you know that in April 2024, Chipotle Mexican Grill had to pay $2.9 million to nearly 2,000 employees? They were hit with this fine for violating shift change and sick time regulations. And it’s not just Chipotle—businesses everywhere face hefty fines for similar reasons. There are more compliance regulations that businesses have to maintain, and even small mistakes can cost big money.
For business owners, keeping up with labor laws can feel like a constant struggle. Rules about meal breaks, overtime, and timecards vary from state to state, making it hard to keep track of everything. The workload can quickly get overwhelming, especially when you have a large team to manage.
Take California, for example. Employees there are required to take a 30-minute lunch break after 4.5 hours of work. Now imagine trying to manually track that for hundreds of employees every day. Mistakes are bound to happen, and those errors can lead to fines. But AI can take that stress off your plate. It tracks employee hours in real-time and sends reminders to make sure everyone takes their breaks when they’re supposed to. No missed breaks, no fines—AI handles it all.
AI also goes beyond break tracking. It ensures that employees’ work hours are recorded accurately, which is another key part of staying compliant. At the end of the week, AI can prompt employees to review and confirm their timecards. This simple step helps cut down on mistakes and builds trust between employees and management.
