Product Details

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.

We use it for scheduling purposes and switching shifts. It is used by the whole company. It addresses problems with scheduling, payroll, time off requests. It is very easy to use and there have been some nice adjustments in the last year to make it more user friendly. I like using it and I think it has been a helpful tool.
  • Scheudling
  • Payroll
  • Time off Request
Cons
  • Could be more intuitive
  • Faster processing
Kronos is well suited for businesses with many employees to manage multiple schedules. It helps manage teams, daily task, time sheets, and time off requests. It is very easy to use and fairly user friendly. It could be better with notifications and faster processing, but overall it is a helpful tool and allows businesses to run smoothly.

Daily use within payroll, ATS tracking, document management. Creating workflows to automate different onboarding processes. Needing more of a flow with onboarding, since the custom forms seem to be a little difficult to put together. Support has a wide range of topics in the community, but response time to specific tickets isn't super fast.
  • Document management
  • Support
  • Applicant tracking
Cons
  • Onboarding
  • Custom Forms
  • Reports
I see UKG as super useful in managing the talent pipeline through the applicant tracking system. Easy to view applications and review information needed to continue the hiring process. In the organization, it's well used for employee document gathering, payroll, and scheduling/PTO information for each employee. Has not been helpful with performance reviews.

It is used across the entire org and helps us track work time efficiently and helps us know when everyone is working. It keeps all of our timecards organized and helps protect us from lawsuits and worker dissatisfaction by providing one source of truth related to timecards and worked hours.
  • The hardware is the industry best--we never hear any complaints about the card swipe machines or their usage
  • Easy synchronization with other software platforms like Nortel, NICE WFM and many more
  • User facing portal is simple to use and lets everyone keep up to date on their usage and accruals
Cons
  • We could use better customer support--the few times when we have questions it's not always easy to get ahold of someone.

-Everyday usage as a timecard/swipe machine.

-Keeping track of hours worked and PTO accrual.

-Solving disputes between employees over schedules and time worked.

-Keeping relationships between salaried and hourly caregivers equitable.

-Replacing old fashioned pencil and paper systems that were error-prone and slow.

-Call-ups of records any time of day/night.

-Location agnostic.

-Supervisors and leaders can view records of all employees.
