Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize UKG Ready to process payroll and for quarterly and YE reporting. We run payroll bi-weekly and finalize/submit it independently. We recently added the HR module and we are learning that side of things. I am looking forward to using the HR module more. So far, it has been incredibly helpful with the enrollment of benefits. We haven't completed an annual enrollment of all employees, but I am curious (and looking forward) on that process. For newly eligible employees it has been great. The payroll program is pretty complex and not as easy to learn, but there is so much it can do. Since I have only used this program for 6 months, there is much more to learn. However, once you begin to understand it, it gets much easier. I wish it could generate federal and state payroll forms too, but that would be a whole other program entirely.

Pros and Cons

Customer service is incredible. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful!
UKG Ready is very complex and there is so much it can do.
Many reporting options and customization.

It's pretty complex and if one thing is missing it can quickly throw something off. Something as simple as a new position or a pay code can throw off everything if entered incorrectly. There are so many steps associated with these things it can easily be missed.
The HR processes seem to be pretty lengthy.

Return on Investment

With the addition of the HR module we were able to handle all insurance and benefits in house and no longer use a 3rd party to administer.

Industry Expertise

If there is an issue or question on how to enhance your experience, you can always reach out to UKG Ready for assistance. They are always willing to listen, customize and help.

Role-based Success

It is super helpful in providing information, reports, etc. however sometimes the process is very complex and I am researching how to do something pretty simple. I really enjoy this program but I wish certain things were a little more straight forward.

Quality of Resources

The resources are helpful but not in-depth enough.

Likelihood to Recommend

I feel UKG Ready is for a larger business that wants the customization and is ever-changing. There are many reports and options that will help a larger business plus numbers, etc.. I honestly feel like smaller business, 25 or less, really wouldn't benefits much from this software.

UKG Ready offers customization and incredible support a long the way!
