  • I like the flexibility BI gives for reporting
  • I like the "payroll processing" functionality compared to Namely or ADP
  • Even though the amendment process can be lengthy, I like how easy UKG makes it to make payroll adjustments
  • More reporting around payroll adjustments. Once the amendment case is done and they provide the AAF report, it's hard to reconcile the additional amounts due. I log each payroll adjustment and I still find it hard to follow once we receive the AAF report
  • The GL set up in UKG is not flexible. It would be nice to have more flexibility to how we are able to code items in the GL Rules
  • In standard reporting, have the option to download more reports in either excel or csv format. Such as the Tax Liability Grand Total Report

  • Technical support team usually help us to solve problems.
  • The payroll allocations report is helpful and saves us time in preparing payroll journal entries.
  • Sometimes, when we have payroll issues, we go to the Learning Center and try to find answers, but it is not helpful at all.
  • The Mobil App for time management needs improvements; employees always have issues clocking in and out with their cell phones.
  • Employees always complain about the new requirements for creating new passwords. At least 15 characters with a special character at the end; it is just too long for some of them.
  • The agency has a policy that new hires are not allowed to use sick time after 90 days and vacation time after 180 days, and we are not sure whether UKG has set it up for us. Right now, we just manually record the sick time and vacation time ourselves. It would be great if UKG could automatically calculate that for us and loaded on employees' pay statements after 90 days and 180 days.

  • Security is very good at keeping the date hard to access if you do not have proper authentication to access it.
  • Relatively easy to run organizational reports ad hoc or scheduled.
  • Can combine various functions together, time keeping, recruiting, etc.
  • The reporting is robust but can be frustrating at times when just trying to get an ad hoc report created quickly.
  • Navigation is a bit clunky, reminds me of older ERP systems at times

  • UKG Pro has allowed us to better automate our payroll processing.
  • UKG Pro has helped us become a more paper-free organization.
  • UKG Pro allows us to customize the solution to meet our growing and evolving business needs.
  • As UKG is aware, the support for customers needs some improvement. As the recent changes to the staffing/support hierarchy take effect, I hope to see some relief to the current frustrations.
  • As the UKG Pro products evolve, they need to become more integrated and less segmented. Having to purchase multiple products that then need to coordinate for processing leads to issues.
  • As users, we have a lot of options for self-service and customization, but some simple fixes still require assistance from UKG support. Give us the power to help ourselves whenever possible.

  • UKG Employee Portal is very user friendly.
  • Payroll is seamless.
  • Timekeeping can handle complex rules.
  • I wish payroll had a batch process where we could store upcoming payments months out.
  • I wish they would give admins more "keys to the kingdom," and we would not have to put so many tickets in for simple changes.
  • I wish they would not nickle and dime us for every little change we need to make.

  • The job code, salary change and address/email workflows work great.
  • Payroll Gateway is a wonderful products that has made finalizing payroll easy.
  • Approval of Timecards.
  • Allowing the ability to add documents during some workflows. For example, Termination.
  • Instant Synchronization. We transitioned from Kronos WFC, where synchronization from Kronos HR/Payroll to Timekeeping was instant, and it was a big surprise to find out that in UKG Pro, we have to wait 15 to 30 minutes and, in some cases, even longer.
  • Better communication between UKG Pro, Benefit Admin and Plan Source.

  • Training is offered at no additional cost. You have 24/7 access to webinars, quick tours, documentation, etc. which really helps you become more invested in UKG Pro.
  • Customer support is superior. You have access to knowledge experts who are interested in your successful use of UKG Pro.
  • The UKG Pro user interface is intuitive allowing for ease of use by both managers and associates.
  • UKG Pro has an amazing user resource called UKG Community that offers a wealth of information.
  • Tax Filing can be tricky. Be sure to understand the process and keep on top of any action on your part.
  • Using a new system can be intimidating. Take as much training as possible to fully understand how to best leverage all of the features of UKG Pro.
  • Try to plan for the possibility of future growth upfront. Think about where you are trying to be in 10 years - will your HRIS platform sustain your growth plan?

  • Maintains a full history of employment for an employee.
  • Accurately keeps track of time clocked in and out, as well as any time off or overtime.
  • Allows the user to input goals to reach towards with their supervisor and track them as they are completed.
  • The URL to access the company-specific portal can sometimes be confusing.
  • The username/password isn't linked internally, so separate information is needed.
  • It would be nice if UKG Pro synced automatically with Outlook or specific calendar programs for easy time off tracking.

  • Personal / HR related information is easily stored and accessed within the system
  • Tracking of time and PTO is easy and the reporting is simple and can show the information in various ways
  • Clearly separates "Myself" from "My Team" which is helpful for managers to understand when they are looking for items related to themselves or for their team
  • The Workforce Management area ("My Team") needs to load in a separate window and isn't embedded into the normal experience.
  • Default views never show the data I'm looking for, not easy or intuitive to create and save new default views
  • Always have to revert back to the hamburger menu to ultimately get where you want to go
