Overall Satisfaction with UKG Pro

We use UKG Pro for processing our payroll. The system allows us to process payroll in a timely manner utilizing the paycodes, locations and departments we have setup. We also utilize time transfers amongst locations so that we may properly allocate expenses to the exact locations where the employees worked.
  • Transfer time amongst the various locaitons
  • Process payroll in a timely manner
  • Allow us to review the hours and reconcile before processing
  • Customer service is not great
  • Whilst we can transfer time amongst the various locations, we don't have a good report for recording this.
  • Tax issues are becoming a regular thing every month
  • The ability for the employee to review their time card and then the mgr sign off is a nice feature
  • The use of schedules within the timecards is also nice to allow mgrs to see any discrepancies
  • Tracking of PTO time works well in UKG
We are able to retrieve an export file from UKG to directly post into our Accounting Software. This is a huge time saver for the Accounting staff at month end time.
The onboarding within UKG is a one stop shop. This was nice when I started with Pinnacle GI Partners and not anything I have seen at any other previous employers.
UKG has issues with customer service that is not like any other Payroll system that I have used.

Do you think UKG Pro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with UKG Pro's feature set?

No

Did UKG Pro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of UKG Pro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy UKG Pro again?

No

I don't feel the customer service is where it should be. It can take months to resolve tax issues and we are stuck relying on UKG to provide the insight on what occurred and why.
