We use UKG WFC in our whole organization. The business problem it solves is time tracking, data, and the payroll system to pay our employees.

Pros

Employees can utilize the application to change shifts, claim open slots in daily shifts, or set up under directive authorization for breaks.
The UKG Workforce Central application is the only one of its kind that has the most affordable prices.
The platform is amazingly user-friendly and has efficient features like scheduling and tracking.

Cons

The UKG Workforce Central sometimes does not correctly indicate how much time was spent working or not while paused when the timekeeper is integrated into the computer application.
It takes an absurd amount of time for loading a schedule.

Pros

Flow between HR onboarding and payroll.
Ease of use and access by employees for their own information.
Keeps payroll processing up to date for changing laws.

Cons

Timekeeping while detailed can be clunky and approval processes are somewhat limited.
Support is very hit and miss where sometimes you get an answer and a knowledgeable person and sometimes not.
Actually submitting ACA reporting to the IRS like other payroll providers do instead of requiring clients to upload it themselves directly.

Pros

Tracking of time
Flexibility on configuration
Design

Cons

Mobile coordinates on time card audit. Yes, there is a report but it would be nice to have a right on the time card audit.
A team calendar for anyone in WFC not just those in the WFS areas. Currently, no way to tell who is off on my team when I am not part of the WFS setup.
Cost is outrageous.
