I LOVE UKG

A seamless experience that did not involve several tabs or pages to easily access the necessary information I required.

Pros

The company I currently work for uses this as an addition to our UKG app to make it easier to manage hours, pto requests, messages and updates and I really enjoy the fact that it is easily accessible both on the job and outside of work!

Cons

no cons, everything has been great thus far and i am sure it will continue that way!

My UKG Ready review

Other than the difficulties logging in to UKG Ready the program was easily accessible when tracking login information of hours worked and keeping track of work hours. The software did not have a lot of bug or glitches.

Pros

When using this software when I worked as a Customer Service Representative years back the feature, I liked most was its Security function. It really guarded others to prevent them from accessing Employer and Employee accounts.

Cons

What I liked least about UKG Ready was its difficulty logging in at times. I constantly had to change passwords and had to ask for help at times in order to login.

UKG is a Great Compensatory Alternative for Your Organization!

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.

Reasons for Choosing UKG Ready

The price of Kronos was so high to maintain, and the organization kept growing so it was a decision that had to be made to cut costs.

Reasons for Switching to UKG Ready

More functions for both Management and Employees. Straight Forward platform without a bunch of bells and whistles to make it complicated.

Easy software

I have been using UKG since I started to work at my new company and I don't have complaints about it, I never had issues with the software, other than forgot my password:')

Pros

The UKG Platform is easy to set up, the menu is basic, you do not have to navigate a lot to find what you looking for.

Cons

the only think i don't like about this platform is the app menu vs the desk menu, I know the desk menu will always be better but there's some apps which already contains more of the desk menu into the app.

User friendly system

Excellent system to manage time, vacation time, and pay stubs.

Pros

The way it integrates punch system with pay stubs, pay dates, W-2s. It also has all my employee info organized and able to edit/update.

Cons

Probably not much of a con for employers but the precision of the clock in system makes it hard to manage/avoid overtime.

Sales manager who uses UKG daily, all day.

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.

UKG Ready Keeps You in the Know!

Overall, my experience with UKG Ready has been very nice. There have been no real issues and pretty much a smooth experience. The system is easy to navigate and user friendly.

Pros

I like that it is interactive and easily accessible to employees. Any work history information that HR has is contained right there and at your fingertips.

Cons

The one thing I could say that I had an issue with is not being able to change my profile picture. I think the user should be allowed to update their picture periodically.

UKG- for Non Tech Savvy Users

UKG is a great tool overall. It could be more user friendly for non tech savvy users of all ages.

Pros

While working for a former company, they used UKG. This tool helped the associates keep track of their company profile information and gave the associates the access to manage their own profiles. This was great for the HR operation at the company.

Cons

Associates were often locked out of their apps. This glitch put a strain on our department.
