UKG can do it
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use UKG Ready for payroll and HR management. We are a small-to-midsize community organization that has multiple unions, and although our payroll is relatively simple, UKG addresses multiple jobs per employee, complex scheduling needs, unification of HR process and documentation as well as high-level payroll management and reporting. We are planning on expanding our scope in the coming year by working with consultants.
Pros
- Extremely granular reporting capabilities
- Easy and integrative employee management
- Proficient payroll processing workflows
Cons
- Custom reporting is not intuitive
- Learning and training is poor and has not provided our team with a way to approach our problems in a cost-effective and meaningful way
- Consistent glitches in some areas result in errors that persist through multiple payrolls despite a thorough review of all settings
- Reports don't live in the same place, multiple types of reports exist in multiple places with little explanation of the difference. We often build custom reports only to have them disappear or have to spend a long time trying to find them.
Likelihood to Recommend
I might recommend UKG to a larger organization than ours. The complexity is rich, but perhaps it is too powerful a tool for what we need. That or it's a bit messy in its construction, having so many tools available but difficult to find or not working appropriately. UKG Ready processes payroll efficiently and with ease, but unless you are using a simple accounting platform it may not be able to easily integrate with yours.
