• Streamlines the process between HR and payroll. Each team can quickly see and share information.
• Our entire hospital team can use the system and it's easy to provide trouble shooting support to our teams.
• Appearance -The system is easy to use and attractive for users.
• The payroll process specifically is very well laid out.
• Communication! UKG has really stepped up on communication and training especially around tax related deadlines.

• Customer Support is Horrible
• They over bill you for everything and ignore cancellation requests
• They don't listen to what you need or want, they slip in cancellation clauses and charge you for inactive employees throughout the year.
• They leave one person in charge of your account and should that person go on leave you are stuck waiting until that person gets back (including personal leaves that lasted 2 months)

• Recruitment module is clunky for hiring managers, people who are not administrators.
• Some of the setups don't make sense when administering - for example managing multiple pay rates.
• Some of our integrations do not work properly and it is difficult to get a UKG Ready person to work through it with the 3rd party partner.

• The return on investment has been substantial for our company. Having a payroll system that calculates everything for you, processes important documents, and only takes minimal time and effort allows us to focus more time on running the business and generating revenue.
• Instead of having a user spend half a day (or potentially a full day) processing payroll, it only takes a couple hours (obviously depending on how many employees need to be processed).

• Positive: We have had better reporting with UKG Ready.
• Negative: We still have no benefit integration with our external benefit administrator after 2 years on the UKG Ready Platform. The first attempt that took 2 years failed and now UKG wants us to pay for a single directional integration. This has cost excessive staff hours for manual intervention.
• Negative: Any payroll adjustment requirements are not easy and the UKG Process is outdated. We recently had a payroll issue and were forced to issue a 2nd payroll but the payroll was delayed because UKG cannot (will not) process the same day. This is unacceptable and since Kronos and Ultimate Software merged, Ultimate software was able to process same day as are many other payroll companies that do not have as much power as UKG Ready does.
• Positive: We are able to use position management for better budgeting. There could be some upgrades to this module, but it does do what was promised.
• Negative: Quarterly and year-end closeouts are 3rd business days, which is not always possible. Very inflexible in regards to this. Even when it is done timely, we get random notices and charges that it was not done even though we can prove it was.
• Positive: It appears customer service is getting better. We struggled at first, but lately, it seems better.
