UKG builds software for managing people at work. Its products cover payroll, human resources information systems, benefits administration, recruiting and onboarding, time and attendance, scheduling, and workforce analytics. It serves organisations of every size but has particular strength among employers with large hourly and shift based workforces, including healthcare systems, retailers, manufacturers, logistics operators and public sector bodies, where scheduling and time tracking are operationally complex.
The company was formed in 2020 through the merger of Ultimate Software, founded in 1990 and known for its UltiPro human capital management suite, and Kronos, founded in 1977 and long established in time and attendance and workforce management. The combined business is headquartered in Lowell, Massachusetts with a second principal location in Weston, Florida, and is privately held. UKG employs roughly 15,000 people worldwide, with a significant engineering and operations presence in India, notably in Noida and Bengaluru.
Its principal products are UKG Pro, aimed at larger enterprises and covering the full human capital management suite, and UKG Ready, aimed at smaller and mid sized organisations. Around these sit workforce management capabilities inherited from Kronos, including demand driven scheduling that matches staffing to forecast workload, and compliance tooling for the labour rules, union agreements and jurisdictional regulations that govern how hours may be worked and paid.
The engineering constraints are distinctive. Payroll must be exactly correct and must run on immovable dates. Time and attendance systems integrate with physical clocks and mobile devices across thousands of sites. Labour compliance rules vary by country, state and collective agreement, which makes configurability a core design problem rather than an afterthought. The company has been migrating long established on premise products to cloud delivery, and has invested in applying artificial intelligence to scheduling optimisation and to surfacing workforce insights for managers.
Roles at UKG span backend and frontend software engineering, cloud infrastructure and site reliability, data engineering and machine learning, security, quality engineering, implementation consulting, payroll and compliance domain specialists, product management and customer support.
