What is UKG Ready?
The UKG Ready® software suite is a centralized HCM solution designed for small to mid-sized businesses. It automates and streamlines HR, payroll, benefits, time, talent, and scheduling processes.
UKG Ready's suite of tools offer actionable insights while helping to ensure compliance. Using AI, it draws on work, people, and culture data to boost efficiency and productivity.
For example, UKG Ready streamlines core HR functions by centralizing employee information in a single secure database to give HR teams simplified benefits administration, automated workflows, configurable forms, and real-time access to all their people data in one convenient place to help reduce administrative workload and compliance risk.
When it comes to payroll, UKG Ready calculations run continuously in the background to reduce payroll processing time and provide real-time reports and analytics. UKG Ready’s flexible pay rules engine simplifies different pay scenarios such as shift differentials and employees with multiple positions. And automatic compliance updates keep you current with constantly changing regulatory requirements.
For workforce management, UKG Ready streamlines time and attendance tasks by automating hour tracking, time approvals, and time-off requests. It also simplifies leave and accrual tracking with consistent policy application. In addition, managers can create optimal schedules based on demand, skills, and compliance rules while employees can access self-service tools for shift selection and schedule viewing. And automated expense tracking speeds reimbursement approvals for a better employee experience while offering comprehensive reporting for more informed decision making.
The Great Place To Work® Hub in UKG Ready leverages data from the global workplace culture authority, Great Place To Work, and compares it with insights gathered directly from employees, allowing for the measurement of company performance, with recommendations on improvement opportunities so employees want to stay and grow.
UKG Bryte AI™ is the platform's AI-powered sidekick and the embodiment of UKG’s commitment to help organizations become great places to work by empowering people with insights. With AI driven by people, work, and workplace culture data, users get insights to build trust and deliver personalized experiences that foster meaning and purpose.
All UKG customers receive expert support, on-demand guidance, and anytime, anywhere access to a wide range of resources.

Reviews From Top Reviewers
UKG Ready is a solid HRIS solution with robust features and great customer service!
- Time & Attendance - Easy for workforce to use especially with the mobile app.
- Payroll Processing - Offers step by step navigation to process payroll seamlessly.
- Reporting Features - Ability to filter data easily and reporting feature is strong.
- Implementation Teams - They are a true partner in this process and are detailed, professional, organized, and easy to work with.
- Customer Service - By the click of a button, I can open a case or chat request, and UKG is very prompt in reaching back out to me. If it is regarding payroll processing, the response time is almost immediate.
Cons
- Talent/Recruiting Portal - The application process can use improvement throughout, especially their resume parsing feature.
- LMS Portal - This is a somewhat new feature inside UKG Ready, so may need more time to build and develop here.
Customer on the Fence
- I like the fact that are dashboards that report a screen shot of what is happening
- I like the notifications that are tied to various processes
Cons
- Customer support. I do not like the idea of not being able to call someone with a quick question without adding a case. Waiting for someone to call you back is not helpful at all. Chat line is mostly off-line
- SMA is relatively new to Kronos's Platform. I really felt like we were not fully trained on the system. We were not able to train our staff well either. I would really like to see short clip videos that we are able to share with new employees. I don't have time to read long documents which I find is a lot of what is on the training portal.
Very satisfied, new customer.
- Layered security is a huge benefit - it ensures that only staff who need access to certain parts of an employee file have that access.
- Employee access is another large benefit to Workforce Ready - from potential employees being able to submit their applications online to current staff being able to make changes to their demongraphic data.
- Workforce Ready is laid out in a very user-friendly format which makes it easy to train staff.
Cons
- The initial implementation is difficult for the HR professional to configure to provide information to the implementation team. I think this is in part because the software is so customizable to each individual company.
- The integrations with external payroll systems would be nice to be built in to avoid costly interfaces.
- It would be nice if there was a best-practice layout that could later be customized as you start to work with and use Workforce Ready.
Great product, great service
- Benefits Accruals - the rules engine behind benefit accruals is top notch.
- Time and Attendance - very easy to understand for end users.
- Flexibility - the program is extremely flexible supporting a seemingly endless set of use cases.
- Reporting - all reporting is very customizable.
Cons
- Various bugs - these are usually small items that aren't work stopping, but can be an annoyance since they pop up in random places.
- Time off rules - these are not very intuitive. They "work", but there are various places that you need to set them up and it's not easy to figure out.
- Documentation - this is probably the biggest con. The documentation is lacking and not kept up to date.
Excellent Service and Product!
- Reports
- Applicant Tracking
- EEO Reports
Cons
- Nothing I can think of
