Pros

“UKG Pro offers a comprehensive and user-friendly HR and payroll platform that streamlines employee management, benefits administration, time tracking, and reporting.”

Sahil M.

Manufacturing Supervisor

“UKG Pro is a reliable and feature-rich HCM platform that effectively supports HR, payroll, talent acquisition, and workforce management needs.”

Swaminathan S.

HR Assistant

“It empowers our staff by allowing them to pull a portion of their pay ahead of regular cycles, which has been a great benefit for their financial flexibility.”

Marquita V.

SALES MANAgER

Pros

“It is a single HRIS platform that connects payroll, HR, and time management in real time, making workforce management more efficient.”

William R.

SR HR Operations Specialist

“I use Dayforce in three capacities: as an employee to find my own employee information, as a leader to manage my employees and as a compensation professional looking up employee data for the sales teams we support.”

Nicki S.

Manager, FPandA - Sales Compensation

“It helps with easier onboarding of new employees, managing health insurance contracts, payroll management, and time-tracking.”

Niyathi R.

Marketing Manager

Cons

“UKG Pro does not seem to have a support team that is scalable to meet the needs of administers like myself who often ran into issues with features of UKG Pro, such as UKG Pro Learning, which is their digital LMS platform. While I appreciate that they have a support specialist team to communicate updates or give you a timeframe on how long it will take to research an item, it takes awhile.”

Georgia W.

Director of Training and Ops Services

“However, unresolved issues with vacation time accrual rollover — despite repeated escalations and a missed support deadline — ultimately undermined our trust in the system.”

Felix L.

Safety Coordinator

“We also have 20+ companies, so moving employees between companies has been challenging process-wise, especially when employees are transferring back to a company they've already worked in before.”

Brittney D.

HRIS Manager

Cons

“Employees are unable to see the monthly accumulation of their sick/vacation time and seeing past time can be tricky as you have to go through a list”

Kandice S.

Front Line Staff

“I dislike the redundant email notifications to both personal and work emails and far too many notifications regarding the quarterly review process (even when no action is needed).”

Christine B.

Sub-Investigator

“Sometimes when I clock in or clock out for a meal it doesn't register and it's not easy to see current day's time reporting until the day is finished.”
