Case Study: Tucson Unified School District restores payroll after ransomware attack and onboards 7,500 employees in 48 hours with TCP Software (TimeClock Plus)

Tucson Unified School District quickly bounces back from ransomware attack thanks to TCP Software's rapid deployment and support

Tucson Unified School District, Arizona’s largest district, suffered a ransomware attack that wiped out its data and access to its time and attendance system. After earlier switching away from TimeClock Plus and struggling with a different vendor’s platform, the district needed a reliable time and attendance solution (cloud deployment of TimeClock Plus) that could be rebuilt quickly to prevent payroll errors and avoid reverting to paper timesheets.

TimeClock Plus rebuilt the district’s environment and onboarded 7,500 employees within 48 hours, becoming fully operational in two weeks (a process that normally takes six+ months). The rapid cloud deployment and hands‑on support from TimeClock Plus restored accurate payroll on schedule, eliminated the need for paper timesheets, and delivered ongoing reliability and improved administrative efficiency.
