Overall Satisfaction with UKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready)
Our entire organization uses the UKG Ready Timekeeping (TLM) module. Depending on an employee's classification they may use a physical timeclock, the online timeclock (accessed through a URL), a bulk entry timesheet, or the mobile app to clock in and out.
Pros
- Cloud Based - the system can be accessed from anywhere which is an improvement over our previous locally hosted platform.
- UKG Ready Community - the community allows for an exchange of information amongst users as well as input from UKG Ready employees.
Cons
- Outages - Our organization had the unfortunate circumstance of being on a POD that was overburdened and constantly had outages/downtimes/issues and these outages always seemed to coincide with payroll processing. The solution was to move some of the organizations from that POD to a new POD. Unfortunately, this week (11/23/2020), the new POD had outages and once again caused issues for organizations that were processing payroll and, based on posts in the Community, for organizations that were trying to wrap up Open Enrollment.
- Updates - It seems like there are constantly updates to the system (which is probably the case for any technology), but the manner in which these changes are communicated to users and administrators is not ideal. I've spoken with a UKG Ready employee previously and he assured me that they are working on ways to better communicate the changes to ensure they are easy to understand, interpret, and then pass on to our users.
- None - we were forced to switch providers because our existing program was no longer supported.
