We leverage UKG Ready for our timekeeping and labor management including accruals. The software interfaces well with UKG Pro. With UKG Ready, we use the InTouch DX timeclocks as well as web-based punching. UKG Ready also allows for accessing timekeeping information via the mobile app.

“Lots of capabilities, missing human element ”

UKG ready is a bit over engineered. It has a ton of capabilities, but some functions require multiple steps that from the user perspective seem superfluous. Chat support is usually poor and their content is poorly organized.

Performance of UKG Ready Across Market Features

UKG Ready Likes & Dislikes

The integration between UKG Ready and UKG Pro allows us to quickly enable our employee's timekeeping profiles including holiday schedules, accrual profiles, work schedules, etc. Employees can begin accessing UKG Ready almost immediately after setup.

Range of Capabilities Integration Customizability

I like the interface and dashboards. Each leader can create their own dashboard which I like.

One feature that we think could perform better is the fact that UKG Ready isn't available from the UKG Pro Mobile App. To use the mobile app, users must download both the UKG Pro and UKG Ready Mobile Apps but only ever login to the UKG Pro app. This is a cumbersome experience for the employees.

Support Not intuitive Inconsistent or confusing language/labels/fields

UKG Scheduler is challenging for some of our employees who have secondary jobs.

The product is intuitive and helps us navigate our needs very easily

HRIS Supervisor and Project Lead

We like the tool but there are small things that could improve the experience immensely

Nov 17, 2022

We tend to have a lot of new employees based on our business and so we see a lot that UKG isn't intuitive to first time users. We've been able to improve that with dashboards.

Great program with great flexibility .

Have always had great support when issues arise, but issues are usually because of human error. Support is quick to resolve and teach to help us learn more.
