UKG Ready Named to Constellation ShortList™ for SMB HCM Suites with a North American Focus
LOWELL, Mass. & WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The all-in-one UKG Ready® HR Suite, which includes HR, payroll, and time and attendance management, has earned a spot on the Constellation ShortList™ for SMB HCM Suites with a North American Focus. Tens of thousands of small and mid-sized businesses leverage UKG Ready to enhance compliance and streamline workflows through simplified payroll processes, making this cornerstone business function a much lighter lift for lean HR teams.
The Constellation ShortList is published by Constellation Research, a Silicon Valley-based strategic advisory and futurist analyst firm. The Constellation ShortList for SMB HCM Suites evaluates more than 30 organizations against 14 different criteria, including conversations with early adopter clients, independent analysis, and conversations with vendors and partners, to help organizations identify best fit solution providers.
“We have a unique payroll [process] that many other solutions couldn’t handle, but UKG Ready has been able to handle all of that and more,” said LaShawna Harrison, senior payroll specialist at Purple Wave Auction, a rapidly growing, online-only equipment auction marketplace with 250 employees that uses UKG Ready to decrease its payroll processing time. “Payroll used to take eight to 12 hours, and then I could spend another eight hours reconciling timesheets and making deduction adjustments. Now, with UKG Ready, and even as our workforce has grown, we’ve reduced our payroll processing time by up to 75% — down to just four hours per payroll period.”
The UKG Ready HR Suite is designed to make the everyday workload of HR professionals at smaller businesses easier and more productive. With a single employee record, UKG Ready payroll calculations continuously run to reduce payroll processing time while providing real-time reports and analytics, helping to reduce errors. The flexible pay rules engine simplifies different pay scenarios, such as shift differentials or employees working multiple positions. Regular compliance updates are provided to increase peace of mind for the organization.
“A few years ago, we added payroll to our UKG Ready suite, and the results have been tremendous,” said Deb Wolfsen, HR manager at EPS Security, a family-owned security systems provider that has been a UKG customer for nearly 10 years to support its growth trajectory. “It’s saved our payroll manager two hours of additional work with every payroll period, which adds up to more than a whole work week during the year — a significant amount of time for a business of our size — and we feel confident knowing the data is accurate.”
The UKG Ready suite is intended to be intuitive and easy to use so smaller HR teams can streamline operations to grow their business. By maximizing payroll, HR management, time tracking, and workforce management efficiencies, HR professionals can build strong business foundations while exceeding employee expectations.
“Payroll is more than delivering a pay slip to employees — it’s core to culture and people strategy,” said Chris Kiklas, vice president of UKG Ready product management at UKG. “For the employees at small and mid-sized organizations who trust that they will be paid accurately and on time, we take great pride in making the hard stuff simple, helping our customers simplify one of the most complex and time-consuming processes they often face.”
Inclusion on The Constellation ShortList follows recent accolades the UKG Ready suite has received for its payroll prowess, including a TrustRadius 2024 Top Rated Award and being named a Leader in the Nucleus Research SMB HCM Technology Value Matrix 2024.
Join UKG virtually to celebrate National Payroll Week, taking place September 2-6, 2024, for online learning events and digital resources, a payroll-themed playlist, and a chance to win a $250 Airbnb gift card.
