Ukg payroll

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I like the ease of use. I navigated to the app or website very easily. And when it came to my payroll everything was all in one place. My pay stubs. My vacation or sick time. My hours at work. And also was able to access my w-2s and get them as soon as they've been released rather than wait for them to come and the mail.

Cons:

From my experience I haven't had anything I did not like about the ukg site or app

Comments: I love being able to view payroll, schedules, compliance, and of course, new candidates!

Pros:

Well, I’m a sales manager, and UKG allows my boss to be able to upload new candidates into the portal, and in return, I can view those candidates, and interview them.

Cons:

I don’t dislike anything, but I’ve had multiple issues with my employees being able to authenticate their work emails, when setting up their UKG profile.

Enhances employee privacy and gives them the right to review evaluations and follow up on their progress according to performance indicators

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: UKG Ready has given evaluations the required transparency, enhanced the values ​​of self-criticism among employees and enabled them to manage their relationships and work affairs efficiently.

Pros:

I like that UKG Ready is like an employee's bag. Everything is in the same place, we can easily access information about our job status and progress according to KPIs. I liked the ease of documenting the start and end of official working hours and the accuracy of documentation, issuing a payslip, scheduling vacations or requesting leave directly from the employee's page. I liked the ease of approving goals with UKG Ready, and I liked the ease of sharing them with direct managers by updating them and issuing reports about them. What UKG Ready provides in terms of dashboards that display progress according to each KPI independently, and the transparency of accessing and reviewing evaluations is very motivating to put in more effort.

Cons:

UKG Ready has not overlooked anything, is easy to use, and ensures real-time notifications that keep us up to date with updates.

UKG is a Great Compensatory Alternative for Your Organization!

5.0 last month New

Comments: When I utilized UKG Ready, we had no problems and found it very user friendly. Once staff were acclimated to using it, they liked it too. It was an overall plus.

Pros:

Employees find it very easy to work with and log hours. Employers like it for the same reasons. It is very straight forward.

Cons:

The only con I can honestly say is that the program was a little more pricy than others that I have worked with. When working with Organizations, price is always a key factor.

Highly recommend

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Great application for businesses that need to take the stress out of time management, ease of time off requests, view hours and paychecks.

Pros:

Ukg was an amazing platform at my last company. Creating and approving time off requests was a breeze. Checking hours and being able to have mobile app access to employees was critical and this application delivered just that.

Cons:

My former company have zero dislikes from the application. The integrated time clocks stream lined all of our needs.

Like Having A 24/7 Employee Who Never Calls In Sick

5.0 last year

Comments: My experience has been phenomenal. I have a wonderful working relationship with a number of team members and have even gotten to speak 1 on 1 with the [sensitive content hidden] of the Company. I have not seen any other major company where the [sensitive content hidden] is that available AND willing to talk to you,

Pros:

UKG Ready is a highly customizable solution. Like a buffet, you can take a little of this and a little of that to get the features and functions you most want or need. The system is also highly scalable and expandable. We have added on more features over the years and it is a seamless integration with existing data when adding on. The support team is Best In Class. I feel like I have my own support team when I have a question or I have broken something because I didn't read some of the support tools available. This support team is assigned to your company so you always know who you will be working with.

Cons:

I have nothing negative to say about UKG Ready. It is a powerful tool which works for you 24/7/365.

Easy to use for scheduling

5.0 4 months ago

Pros:

I like the ease of creating schedules, submitting PTO or other time off, and checking my schedule.

Cons:

I wish I could label the numerical time codes (e.g. Education in, Eduxario out) so it's easier to transfer cost centers.
