The next UKG Ready release is set to make its debut in mid-June. Chock full of amazing features, many of which were directly suggested by you our customers, it was hard to pick a handful to highlight. Read on and discover what’s coming to your solution in a couple of short weeks.
Global Search
How many times has this happened to you? You go to search for something in your UKG Ready solution and nothing turns up because you either spelled something wrong or don’t have the proper name of the feature/functionality you’re looking for. We are excited to introduce two new updates to our Global Search capabilities, synonym and misspelling search. These new search features will allow users to easily search for and find items they are looking for, regardless of whether a word is misspelled, or it isn’t the exact feature name.

Workflow Updates
Workflows are an invaluable part of the UKG Ready solution. However, we’ve heard you and understand at times workflow creation can be confusing, especially when building out long, complex workflows with various steps. That’s why we’re updating our workflow functionality to help promote a more positive workflow setup experience. Updates you can look forward to in June include:
- Introduction of a visual indicator to show where the next step in a workflow leads
- More space for workflow configuration
- A new warning message that will appear in real time alerting you that a workflow has been configured incorrectly
With these updates, our product team aims to create a more intuitive experience for users. And, we’re always listening. These specific workflow updates were based on ideas submitted by you!

Drillable Bar Charts – People Insights
If your organization is using the Insights Explorer, you don’t want to miss out on our latest enhancement: Drillable Bar Charts. As opposed to a normal bar chart that can only show one level of detail, Drillable Bar Charts provide you with a quick and easy way to view multiple levels of details within a single chart. Say your senior leadership or executives want insight into different departments and how the gender and average salary look among them. Drillable Bar Charts allow you to grab that information and share it in a digestible way.

Copy and Paste Time Off in Schedules
The ability to Copy and Paste Time Off from one shift to another is being introduced to both Basic and Advanced scheduler modules this release. This feature is extremely helpful if you know that an employee is going to be out on a specific day when viewing or creating your schedule. Admins simply need to click on a time off already on the schedule and a new copy button is available for them to copy and paste the shift to the necessary employee’s schedule.

Mass Edit Auto Correct Tax Codes
We know how difficult it can be trying to turn on or off auto correct when individual taxes need to be updated. It’s extremely time consuming to update this setting for each employee. In June, we’re adding in the ability to mass edit the auto correct functionality for the following tax codes:
- FICA
- Medicare
- CA SDI
- WA FLI
With the introduction of the mass edit functionality, we aim to make auto correcting tax codes as simple as possible.

Adjust Position Assignments
Is your organization utilizing Positions? If so, we have some great news for you. This release we’re adding in the functionality to modify a position assignment through an HR Action. While the ability to create a position assignment through HR Actions exists today, adding the capability to edit a position assignment through HR Actions was a highly requested feature. In addition to modifying Positions through HR Actions, users will be able to view existing position assignments while creating new assignments.
