UKG Workforce Central (discontinued)

Formerly Kronos Workforce Central

I feel as if UKG Workforce Central is best suited for organizations with thousands of employees not a couple of hundred. The implementation was so bad that it left us scarred for months. I do find the Community somewhat useful and the support is decent.

I recommend the software to you all as with the usage of Workforce Management it has become very easy to analyze the output of our employees. Our company has found the application to be extremely useful since we use it to log the time spent by employees and calculate payroll more accurately.

This product was marketed to us as a school and several schools in our area use the program. However, the implementation team we were set-up with had limited school experience and we are still working on the best way to do some of the timekeeping issues where I know that could have been handled better. That being said from a payroll and reporting side it has been great to capture so much data (at times almost too much) and have the system do automatic allocations of salaries and general ledger reports. The reporting takes some getting used to, but overall I've been able to run reports to see and track just about anything I want. Our employees also love the self service compared to our previous products where they can make W4, direct deposit and other updates on their own without having to get HR involved.

Powerful software if you can afford it.

Kronos Workforce Central is great for an organization who needs to manage multiple employees and wants to do it efficiently while still being detailed. Kronos is very user friendly and easy to learn all while remaining extremely detailed. It is complex yet simple to use and does much more than just tracking clock in/clock out.
