Pros

“It is good value for money, tracks time easily, helps keep track of schedule and helps in editing the schedule, make request or changes to the schedule, etc.”

Malika K.

CEO

“At the time our organization used iCIMs with UKG my role was as primarily an Onboarding Manager, but because of my systems, reporting and analytics background I was often asked to pull reporting for our [sensitive content hidden] and this is where my experience with UKG was gained.”

Lisa C.

Onboarding Manager

“What I liked most about UKG Ready is that it combines multiple HR functions into one centralized system, making daily operations much more efficient.”

Swaminathan S.

HR Assistant

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

“It is not compatible with our current payroll system, so we have to do manual work to process employee payroll, which adds extra steps and time to the process.”

Will R.

SR. HR Operations Specialist

“Unable to tab between fields in some pages which causes issues when completing timesheets from scratch”

Kevin W.

Owner

“The notifications are annoying as they ping me about everything (no matter what) as long as it is related to Mo. And I always get confused with the "boost" button and I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly and also occasionally the application will crash when I attempt to load a picture into it.”

Sergei O.

Co-Founder

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.”
