Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using UKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready) across the whole organization. It has helped improve transparency between management and employees. We have cut down on using paper and have gone paperless for our onboarding as well as our weekly payroll process. This has been a great change for us!

Pros and Cons

TLM feature has made it easier for managers to view the timesheets and approve them in a timely manner.
Onboarding is officially paperless.
Communicating to employees is much easier.

Performance Reviews--they are just too lengthy and visually, it's not something managers like at the moment.
Accruals--We have to do a lot of manual corrections.

Return on Investment

It has helped to cut down and/or control overtime.
Managers are able to view hours and payroll reports much sooner.

Industry Expertise

It is great but of course there is always room for improvement. The accruals section hasn't been that great of an experience for us either.

Role-based Success

I process the timesheets, and prior to UKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready), it would take me about a day and a half just to view all timesheets for 1,500 employees and make sure there were no adjustments needed or missing. Also, any change, from address to tax information and pay changes, I had to alter manually in two systems. UKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready) has given me more time to focus on other aspects of HR and reporting.

Quality of Resources

I think the updated "my learning" experience is great! It's easier to search for courses and visually friendlier.

Likelihood to Recommend

I have to say creating the reports and setting up automatic send is amazing. If I am not in the office or forget, it's something I do not need a manager emailing me about. Also, the fact that I don't have to spend too much time on a Zoom call showing someone how to create a report. I can set it up for them and share it, and they can make it their own.

UKG Ready is the way to go!!
