Overall Satisfaction with UKG Ready

We use it for employee records, payroll, and employee hourly timekeeping. The entire organization uses it. The problem it addresses is any discrepancy in hours or contribution discrepancies. It is very easy to use the Reporting feature. Timekeeping is also done via swipe card which makes it very easy to keep track of. No worries of transposed numbers or incorrect punches on incorrect days.
  • Reporting for 401K.
  • Electronic timecard.
  • Accrual time keeping.
  • Very helpful on preventing over or under payments from payroll.
I've only used a municipal HR/Payroll system called Munis. It was very good on the HR side, but not very good for payroll which seems to be the opposite of this program.
I'm sure it is because I am not aware of the features available to me as I have only been using this program for 8 months. I do hear from other users how effective it is for other departments as far as reporting and timekeeping so I don't want to sell the program short on a basis of lack of information.
The Human Resources side is fantastic. Especially the ease of seeing when the last time an employee had a pay increase.
The support and the Kronos community website are extremely useful. Whenever I needed to put in a ticket, the response has always been received very, very fast. Very helpful support system.
If you have a smaller company, this is a great system. If the company is larger, it is less appropriate. Employee history tracking is non-existent. To try and get a quick snapshot of employees prior positions and dates within the company is difficult and I personally haven't been able to figure out how to do it. The bigger problem is the accruals. Accrual history is terrible and hard to read. It should be more user-friendly. As far as the payroll side, this system is great for putting in advanced pay changes. Also, having all of the new hire paperwork kept through Kronos is very convenient. Affirmative action reporting is very easy.
