Why buyers look beyond UKG Ready

  1. Quote-only pricing

    No plan shows a price; pricing comes from a UKG sales expert.

  2. Per-item payroll service fees

    Off-cycle payrolls ($55), amended tax returns ($137.50) and payroll rollbacks ($275) are billed per item on top of the monthly fee, so it is less suited to teams that often correct payroll after the fact.
