UKG
UKG makes workforce management and HR software handling scheduling, time tracking, payroll, and talent management for thousands of mid-to-large organizations.
What is UKG?
UKG — Ultimate Kronos Group — was formed in 2020 from the merger of two long-established human capital management companies: Ultimate Software and Kronos. The combination created one of the largest HCM platforms in the United States, with a combined customer base spanning healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government, and financial services. Kronos brought deep expertise in workforce management — scheduling, time and attendance, and labour analytics — while Ultimate Software brought payroll, HR, and talent management capabilities. The merged entity serves tens of millions of employees across North America and beyond.
UKG's platform portfolio includes UKG Pro (the enterprise HCM suite targeting large organisations) and UKG Ready (targeting mid-market customers), along with workforce management-specific products. For industries like healthcare and retail where shift scheduling is operationally critical, UKG's scheduling and time-tracking tools run around the clock, with employees clocking in and out, managers approving schedules, and HR administrators processing exceptions continuously. The platform's availability is directly tied to operational continuity for labour-intensive businesses.
UKG experienced one of the most significant enterprise software incidents in recent memory in December 2021, when a ransomware attack took down its cloud services for weeks. Customers — including hospitals, emergency services, and large retailers — lost access to payroll, scheduling, and HR functions during the holiday period, forcing many to revert to paper-based processes. That incident brought unusual public attention to a B2B software provider. More routine problems include the time and attendance portal returning login errors, scheduling displays failing to load for managers, and payroll processing submissions timing out when backend processing capacity is constrained.
Outage.gg tracks UKG platform status using real-time community reports from HR professionals, payroll administrators, and workforce managers. If UKG Pro or UKG Ready is down, timekeeping is unavailable, or payroll is not processing, the live status page shows current impact.
