    The ease of collecting data and then using it with our payroll software. We were using the same company for payroll as well as time tracking. It was not capable of collecting our complex pay methods, but UKG was. It has made doing payroll easy and expedited the process. Also their customer support is one of the best around. I don't know of a company that is doing this any better in the industry.

    The product is easy to use. I need to get more training in HR functions though.

    * Too many options * Too many drop-downs * Too complicated * Can't drag and drop * The set-up process was entirely from scratch with no examples to go from, no best practices * NOT INTUTIVE in the slightest * Makes me sick to my stomach thinking we are stuck with this for at least the next 3-4 years * Company seems too large to be nimble * We invested well over 500 EE hours in set-up? Do you want your staff doing that? * I feel like we are at the programmers level, this barely seems like software from this decade * Customer serve gives off the vibe we should know more than we know

    I have changed my password which met the criteria but it would not only not accept my new password but it kept locking my account. In which my manager had to constantly reset it...

    WFC was used as a timekeeping software for their main workforce. It was used to manage unexcused and excused time off, lunches, break, lateness and early departures. It also used aggregate time to calculate accumulated paid time off.
    WFC aggregates the entire timekeeping and management in one system. The software makes scheduling very easy according to staffing and workforce needs, and will do some of the work for you. Edits are incredibly easy to make.

    We are using the base system and the recruiting. It provides an employee experience we could not provide our employees in our old system. Employee self-service was a key factor in our decision-making. The payroll process is easy to use and the integration with outside vendors has been game-changing for accuracy with all of our vendors.

    Kronos WFC is being used across the whole organization from recruiting to HR to timekeeping to payroll. It replaced our legacy systems that were separate programs for each function.
    Kronos can take a simple task and make it overly complicated. This is the problem when the program is so incredibly robust. All of the tax withholding and filing was handled autonomously by our previous payroll company. We had little knowledge of what they were doing. With Kronos, we are required to provide filing schedules, specific EIN for each locality, etc. This is something we would have preferred not to concern ourselves with and was much easier on us when the previous company was handling. Kronos seems to be geared toward large organizations with a payroll department, accounting department, HR department, etc. Our company is small and has only one employee in each of those roles. As such, Kronos can be a real burden on that one employee to do a lot of work that should be handled by a team of people, especially in the implementation phase.

    All staff and faculty use Kronos Workforce Central across the University. We use it to log vacation leave, sick leave, any FMLA leave, or comp time. It's also used to check balances for yourself or any reporting employees.
    Severely outdated UI (at least the version our org is using) Core features are unnecessarily buried

    Workforce central is being used by the entire HR department for time/scheduling management and payroll. It helps to eliminate any discrepancies between employee and manager regarding time or scheduling.
    Kronos would oftentime not detect a punch in or punch out. This became extremely frustrating as that would result in extra paperwork on the employee's part. Kronos would time out within 2 minutes or in the midst of a punch in/out.

    My experience has been phenomenal. I have a wonderful working relationship with a number of team members and have even gotten to speak 1 on 1 with the [sensitive content hidden] of the Company. I have not seen any other major company where the [sensitive content hidden] is that available AND willing to talk to you,

    I am addressing the issue of digitizing and automating human resources procedures. When I first joined the firm, there was some resistance to adopting "the cloud." With my increasing use of UKG, I am facilitating faster data access and a more fluid technological experience for everyone.

    The program is fantastic, and I appreciate being able to manage Payroll, TLM, and Benefits Open Enrollment in one location. UKG Ready eliminates the need for employees to manually enroll and maintain their personal information and leave balances.
