Overall Satisfaction with UKG Ready
We use UKG Ready for 7 EINS in a skilled nursing facility/personal care setting and use the Payroll, HR, ACA, TLM modules. We are currently implementing Advanced Scheduler to better track employees approaching OT and to avoid using another system for scheduling. It has worked very well for us over the past 3 years.
We will continue to work towards configuring other modules that need to have their set up complete

- Relaying information to users.
- Fairly easy to use.
- I can see all employees in one database.
- New enhancements have made some tasks easier to complete.
- Pay calcs can be a bit overwhelming. I would like to see them a bit more streamlined.
- "New" looks is not user-friending for smaller monitors. Having to scroll right or left to find an action button can be time consuming.
- Sometime the amount of information on new releases is a bit overwhelming.
- Would like to see "effective dating" for GL settings (the same as for pay calcs).
- Allows multiple companies to be viewed in one database.
- Customization of the system based on company needs.
- Modules can be added as environment changes.
We found that UKG Ready was more cost effective and had more flexibility for our needs. Accruals while still complex are easier to manage. Payroll processing was able to be set up on a more individual basis.
Having EIN's in one database made adding a new EIN recently pretty simple. We worked with UKG Partner who did the UKG admin work, while I was able to complete many of the tasks, since managing the system is a big part of my daily routine.

No, felt that the global support was sufficient
Recently had an issue with a pay calc for a new EIN and I was in a panic. I received a call almost immediately to help walk through the issues. Fortunately we were able to get it fixed prior to the payroll submission deadline and I am able to go back and review the previous pay period for errors.
Also, when we installed the two clocks at the new EIN, I didn't have much experience with clocks, but the support person walked me through how enter the terminals in the system, explained what I needed when actually configuring the clocks and provided support when there was an issue with one of the clocks not working correctly.

- Hiring/terminating
- Timesheet editing
- Payroll processing
- Accruals
- Some of the Advanced Scheduler set up
Yes - It works pretty well and since it mirrors the desktop version it is simple to follow and find the items needed. I am able to submit payroll via the mobile app if I am not able to be at my office computer.
