UKG Ready - A company that stands up to its mission.
- Payroll Processing.
- Managing employee data, reporting.
- Usability for employees and managers.
- Mobile platform.
- 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.

UKG Ready - Time For School (TLM)
- Managing Accruals
- Tracking Employees Extra Duty time
- Exempt Hours (check in with auto population of hours)
- Ease of access to reporting for employees
- Detailed Accrual history for employees
- employee reminders (submit timesheet, exceptions)

- Applications can be customized. For example, we had a stretch where we needed a high number of applicants so we [were enabled quickly] to apply which provided a measured increase in applicants.
- Data storage. Though we are still converting to more digital documents, we have been able to convert paper docs into Edocs and have them stored inside UKG
- Geofencing via a tighter radius or even better, with coordinates for mobile clock in
- Allow custom document security access to be programmed via the Customs Form creation and not have to enter each and every security profile to update

Kronos Workforce Ready Review
- Reporting capability
- HR Solutions
- Payroll Management
- Ease of use for employees that work remotely.
- Kronos Community - request for enhancements/ voting on ideas
November 15, 2021
Robust system with numerous features available but only used for one purpose in our organization.
- Importing data/time.
- Personnel Activity Reporting (PAR) without creating additional work for staff.
- Allows for employee self service functionality.
- Having comments/notes available on accrual imports.
- Having a base setup for smaller agencies and then allowing for expansion/revision from the base product instead of building from the ground up.
November 15, 2021
Life changing changes!
- Real time data.
- Quick communication to manager and employees.
- Easy to locate and update data.
- More ways to make the admin pages look how the user wants.
- More color choices.

UKG in the Construction Materials Business
- Flexibility of Rules for Union Agreement
- Multiple Media Access like PC, IPAD or Phone
- Better control of employee records through payroll and HR
- More efficient for payroll staff
- Upgrades seem to appear out of nowhere
- Don't fix certain things like the Employee information screen that's not broken
- Appears some new features are not fully tested before release
August 13, 2021
UKG Ready
- Track [Time]
- Track Employees Information
- Customer Service
- Allowing for alt rates to be applied to the time card
- Allowing for punches to have a hard stop for 24/7 punches
November 17, 2021
UKG Ready Helps Us Be Us!
- Everything is a report
- Data is easily read
- Have access to it anywhere
- Simplifies daily tasks
- Cannot really get an "accruals as of specific date"
- Certain fields are only available in specific reports, so we have to combine information often
- Would like to see when changes were made to configurations, [as] an audit trail for profiles
November 15, 2021
Right idea, needs further exploration
- The customer service staff are very friendly.
- The UKG Community allows me to find answers on my own.
- Timeliness of support tickets - specifically script related issues.
- Detailed education on how to make the most of the systems available.
- Updates that should be included are at an additional cost.
September 05, 2021
Useful
- Staff accountability
- Ease of use for the mobile app
- Keeping staff current on [requirements}
- Additional training for reports
- 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.
- Roll-out of improvements-there are updates and changes frequently. It's hard to keep up with some of the changes.
- Support case response has really slowed since UKG has expanded.
- Training for end-users-it would be helpful if UKG had training materials for things like timesheets, reviews, and reviewing data within the system.
September 05, 2021
Exceptional
- Payroll processing
- Recruiting from pulling in data from Indeed.com and from our business website
- Tracking of evaluations for our hourly team members
- Problem solving quickly if we do have issues
- Training on how to create reports and this feature is not as user friendly as other options
August 17, 2021
UKG Ready is a great solution for our company.
- Scheduling
- Overtime tracking
- Payroll processing
- The new user interface has added additional and unnecessary "clicks".
- Service tickets are required to get assistance. Otherwise the portal is a slow alternative.
November 18, 2021
UKG Ready
- Time and Attendance
- Recruiting and Onboarding
- Scheduling
- Better connectivity between different modules - ie: when adding positions, it's a manual step to add matching skills and scheduled cost centers for scheduling
- Certification tracking - the basics are covered, but there are many nuances that become challenging to handle
- Position Management - our organization's employees often have multiple positions at different pay rates. Again, the basics are covered but there are so many ways this area could be enhanced.
November 15, 2021
Put the work in and it can be a very complex system.
- Payroll processing.
- Employee record keeping.
- Reports.
- Accrual banks.
- Timekeeping - specifically in overtime calculating.
- Checklists/workflows.
November 15, 2021
UKG after 4 years
- Reporting - we are impressed with the reports we can create and use.
- The Payroll side of things always run smoothly.
- We like the ease of building our own workflows and checklists.
- We have concerns about our secondary jobs history ad reporting accurate history.
- We would like an easier way to manage job descriptions currently we build custom forms but it is a lot of management.
- Currently we are unable to use an HR action on Primary codes because they are tied to the rate table and require us to do manual input.
- Would like to use the Performance module but it will not allow us to assign more than one review to staff. We have a majority of staff that work more than one position.
- Our staff feel that advanced scheduler it too complicated and resist using it to schedule staff.
October 20, 2021
UKG Workforce Ready meets all our needs
- Highly customizable
- Extensive reporting
- Enhanced security features
- The "feel" is a bit dated, crowded, and distracting
- It needs drag-and-drop features, especially in report creation
- Easier navigation
September 13, 2021
No IT coding required to customize your settings. HR can build and update without support! Sadly, not suitable for staffing companies.
- Onboarding customization
- Checklist steps for admin steps/tracking
- Timecard customization options
- Basic ESS functions
- Processing past pay period timecards. In staffing, we need to be able to process a prior pay period timecard with the current timecard. This is impossible.
- Modernizing onboarding to include video tutorials, better UI as workers get stuck a lot [...] requires a lot of IT troubleshooting from my HR team
- Modernizing the branding opportunities. We have to use noreply@kronos.com in order for our reports to be received. We cant include images in messages/notifications unless they have a URL from an image hosting site [that] is outdated.

UKG Ready in Healthcare!
- Great Customer Service - UKG is always quick to respond
- Trainings - Excellent information provided in trainings and always providing updates
- Time Off Calendar - I would like to see an easier way to block days from employees being able to request off
August 16, 2021
UKG Ready Review
- UKG Ready does a great job of training.
- Very thorough during implementation.
- Support is always quick to respond to any questions that might arise.
- Reporting could be more user friendly.
- Once workflows are created they are difficult for the user to change. UKG would need to get involved.
