UKG Ready

UKG Ready Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Small and midsize businesses use UKG Ready to run payroll, track time, and centralize employee data in one system. It’s most used by healthcare, retail, and service teams with daily scheduling needs. Reviewers value its centralized employee database and mobile payroll access, though setup and interface quirks are common. Recent updates improve shift planning and compliance tracking.

### Our verdict

The system works well for teams that handle payroll and scheduling every day and want all employee data in one place. Its modular setup gives you flexibility, but you might run into delays during onboarding or find the interface a bit clunky. The latest updates help smooth things out, especially around shift planning and compliance.

## UKG Ready's interface

The interface is functional but often described as visually stiff, with slow load times and multi-step verification that can disrupt flow. While users appreciate the centralized layout for tracking hours and accessing payroll, navigation feels unintuitive during setup and onboarding.

Preksha Buttan

Expect a learning curve when navigating UKG Ready’s interface, especially during initial setup. Reviewers mention needing to double-click to clock out and encountering delays when switching screens, which can slow down routine tasks like shift approvals or payroll adjustments.

Their pricing is quote-based, so expect variation depending on your workflow configuration. Budgeting against the $14 average helps anchor expectations before engaging with sales.

Overall experience it’s great. It’s easy and fast self-explanatory easy for someone who is not text savvy.

Pros

What I like most about UKG is being able to clock in seeing your hours being able to pick up shifts seeing your PTO able to swap shifts all on one page

Cons

What I like the lease is that they’re always having updates always having system issues as in minor bugs here and there

The product looks great but when all's said and done, it tends to overcomplicate a lot of functions and the layout of the system is just awful for end users and administrators alike.

Pros

UKG Ready has a slick frontend and they do provide a detailed training library that is usually quite helpful.

Cons

While the frontend is slick a lot of functions are BURIED underneath other menus and tabs, end users cannot stand using it for booking time off or logging hours (myself included). It's a pain to actually use the system, even after having it for a few months now. Support after implementation has been very lacking and when not lacking, just plain frustrating.

I believe UKG has been one of the easiest and most seamless payroll areas of medical I have worked in. The customer service is also very helpful and quick with responses.

Pros

The payroll processing is seamless and it is very simple to look at time cards and fix mistakes or add PTO to a day. It shows you each area of the time off you have accumulated and not just a generic message.

Cons

It was very difficult to get to the benefit section or figure out how to edit your time that was already added. It is simple to fix the time card but getting to the section needed was confusing.

I’m my opinion I found it more worker ready than most apps . Especially with the making funds available per shift sure it maybe only half it’s still very convenient

Pros

Better than most when it come to time keeping to me in the sense of immediate having more conscience time management also a very useful customer service support system.

Cons

That the lag between pay to available funds only being 50% is not enough for those who work so hard to earn immediate available

UKG Ready makes life as an employee much easier for me. I can check my timesheet and correct it with ease as well as make sure it has been submitted.

Pros

The interface is very user friendly even for beginner users. It is easy to check and correct your timesheet as well as using to clock in on mobile.

Cons

Loading time on mobile can take a bit longer than I would like when trying to clock in quickly which can be a bit of an issue.
