    UKG- for Non Tech Savvy Users

    Reviewed on 2024-10-13

    UKG is a great tool overall. It could be more user friendly for non tech savvy users of all ages.

    UKG is a great tool overall. It could be more user friendly for non tech savvy users of all ages.

    Pros

    While working for a former company, they used UKG. This tool helped the associates keep track of their company profile information and gave the associates the access to manage their own profiles. This was great for the HR operation at the company.

    Cons

    Associates were often locked out of their apps. This glitch put a strain on our department.

    Easy to use for scheduling

    Reviewed on 2024-08-26

    Pros

    I like the ease of creating schedules, submitting PTO or other time off, and checking my schedule.

    Cons

    I wish I could label the numerical time codes (e.g. Education in, Eduxario out) so it's easier to transfer cost centers.

    I use this daily to clock in and out. It truly makes it so simple. Instead of trying to keep up with clocking in and out.

    Pros

    This is the most easiest app to navigate. There are so many different features.

    Cons

    I think the only thing I don’t like is sometimes I have to double click to get clock out.
