When processing payroll our process time has reduced, thanks to the streamlined checklist. Importing files is simple and the reports that we need are all in one location under each payroll date range. It's super user-friendly and I actually now enjoy doing payroll.

It has reduced stress because it is very efficient at keeping track of data, and I am so excited when it is going to start our applicant tracking and onboarding. It really is going to be a game-changer.

The missed punch report has helped us a lot in our organization. It has helped us to monitor employee engagement with the tool and identify cost reduction efforts, as our leaders have been not utilizing the process correctly. As mentioned in my survey comments, user adoption is low due to difficulty accessing and navigating the system therefore we had leaders going in to complete the needed activities like punch in/out for our employees or the employees did not complete the action, hence the missing punches. We have been able to utilize the audit trail and the report to identify the pain points and rectify it with the individuals to improve productivity and save costs.

Since being with this nonprofit organization this is the 3rd payroll provider we have had, and the 4th that I have used since working in HR. Although the implementation has been a very time consuming process, and there have been bumps along the way, now a year in I can say it is paying off. This is the most complex system I personally have used, but from an admin point of view it is user friendly. We save a lot of paper and time collecting paper. We are still learning and getting our staff to learn, but there are many tools and resources that are helpful in doing this.

I used to spend a lot of time on reports - for year-end, audits and quarterly compliance reporting. Old systems never gave me the info I needed, so I would have to merge multiple reports. I am in love with the reporting...I can make almost every report into what I need! This alone has saved me HOURS each month.

The system has helped ease the way we verify employee time. Previously, if an employee had a discrepancy with their time, we had no real way to verify their hours. Now, we can assure the employee that the time clock will grab our the correct clock in and out time. It also works really well in that, if the clock is temporarily down, if an employee still swipes, it will register the time when the clock is running again.

UKG has helped us streamline our payroll process significantly, cutting an entire day off of our processing timelines. We also enjoy the workflows that provide backup and documentation for compliance purposes. Additionally, we have seen a reduction in payroll errors and oversights.

Our benefit rollout is so much smoother through UKG than manually. Employees can view benefit summaries alongside seeing price comparisons, and since it's already in the system through which they get paid, employees feel a lot more comfortable both signing up for and asking questions about benefits. This has reduced stress on the HR team MASSIVELY during open enrollment.

Specifically moving our payroll and timekeeping into UKG has been such a time saver for all of our staff, but especially our managers and the person who processes payroll. She has gone from 3-4 days per week to process to 1.5 days per week. She has much more time now to reconcile benefit bills and take care of more things than she ever used to.

Just that I was able to provide an important census report to our parent company because of the reporting capabilities of UKG Ready. It was an important deadline that I needed to make, and UKG Ready was able to provide the data so that I could accomplish the task at hand in a timely manner.

When UKG implemented an updated MFA policy, our HR team was bombarded with user issues and inquiries. The HR team was inundated with so many employee questions and concerns, it took the team more than 7 days to clear all of the support tickets. The HR team continues to provide ongoing support to the overall employee population and we are making strides in getting the organization to 100% compliance.

We recently implemented our first Open Enrollment for benefits. THe support from the UKG customer service in setting up the benefit plans and profiles for various employee groups was very good. We are still working on getting the EDI feeds correct.

Increased productivity by having an easy way to maintain employee records and documents. Reduced large amount of paper files that were being printed and then scanned in to specific employee profiles. Reduced time needed during new employee onboarding by having direct checklists needed that could be completed online during their first day.
