Overall Satisfaction with UKG Ready

UKG Ready is the timekeeping/PTO system we use in the warehouse. We had custom work done with UKG Ready to also calculate piece rate/minimum wage adjustments. One of the few software that has this capability.
  • Mass Editing - Moving jobs and positions from one production line to another
  • Reporting - Easy to make reports and email them on schedule to Managers
  • Custom work - Ability to calculate piece rate and upload piece detail
  • The connection with UKG Core. Updating profiles in UKG Core sometimes doesn't sync with UKG Ready. It is super annoying. Such as status (active, term), Clock numbers, etc. Need more detail on why things don't sync on the import menu option.
  • Schedules - We have rotating schedules every week and it always gets messed up when you select a start date on the schedule. Also, it's hard to select the correct schedule when a new employee starts. Not sure of a solution but it would be a redesign. Also, it would be nice if we could select the schedule in UKG Ready and push it to UKG Core. UKG Core doesn't allow mass updates which means we have to go through each employee and change the schedule. Too much work.
  • We only use UKG Ready for our time solution. With it, doing the piece rate calculation has reduced the time to process payroll by 80%.
The interface takes some getting use to. The back button is annoying and not a fan of the menu on the left.
The import has no issues, however, we have multiple syncing issues with UKG Core. Schedules, clock numbers and there is no button to push the sync. Have to wait for things to sync.

Would you buy UKG Ready again?

The biggest win was being able to create custom calculations with cost centers. This enables UKG Ready to calculate piece rate and minimum wage based on a specific job. We can import the number of pieces per employee which will show on their timecard. UKG Ready then completes the calculation and passes it to UKG Core. Saves us a bunch of time.
