Kronos Workforce Ready Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

MIGRATED TO UKG Ready

Needs work to accommodate bigger complex businesses

What do you like best? I love the reporting in WFR. Once they get the new UI with the updated columns I will be a huge fan. What do you dislike? One of the biggest issues is the way accruals and timesheet profiles tie together for state mandated sick pay but the system cannot auto-assign either based on work location. Recommendations to others considering the product: The system is great. Make sure you are tech savvy so you can fully understand the process. What ...

Good partnership, understand our issues and work to resolve

What do you like best? The partnerships that we have built with Kronos and some of their team members to work to resolve our issues What do you dislike? We've had some issues with the New UI and with changes that come about without our knowledge (changes to benefits Mass Add, Tax modifications - no access) What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are reviewing work weeks, updates to benefits. Partnerships ensure we get things done ...

We are still in implementation phase.

What do you like best? Work Force Ready is very versatile. The software has shown itself to be able to handle all of our complexities with relative ease. What do you dislike? Work Force Ready is employee centered. Our organization is position centered. Additionally, we have multiple changes that occur within a pay period, so effective dating of cost center assignments is critical. Work Force Ready does not handle this well. Recommendations to others considering the product: ...

A decent software with excellent support.

What do you like best? Almost every single representative we've worked with has been friendly and helpful - their customer service team, in particular, is especially great. The Kronos tools that we use are largely user-intuitive, easy-to-use, and give us a sense of security that our data is compliant. What do you dislike? We have several representatives for customer service, sales, etc. - it can be a challenge to keep track of who to contact in which circumstances. What problems ...

Great HCM that tailors to your business

What do you like best? Workforce Ready takes a lot of different business aspects into account and has a great basis to work up from. Many options to customize and expand based on your business needs. What do you dislike? As with any technology, there are still some limitations to the program. Once we got the ball rolling with ideas for further implementing Kronos, we did come across a few roadblocks between our business creativity/needs and Kronos' capability. What problems are ...

WFR - Review

What do you like best? Very easy to customize and great customer support What do you dislike? Difficult for 3rd party integration. Not always user friendly. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Onboarding, Employee Self-Service

Works quite well

What do you like best? The software is extremely customizable and feature-rich. With enough practice you're able to navigate through the program quickly. It's very fast. What do you dislike? Many features are hidden behind separate modules. I would love to be able to access workforce leave. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We've "solved" payroll, HR, time and attendance.

Needs work to automate federal laws.

What do you like best? I like that navigating to find employees is easy. I just learned here at the conference that there are shortcuts that take you directly to an employees, timesheet, pay statement...etc. I’m very excited to begin using this!!! What do you dislike? I do not like that there is no way to make state laws automatic. Currently we have to manually create the rule (state law) and then assign it to those who need it vs Kronos creating and assigning to employees ...

Great system - know your requirements and allow for lots of implementation time

What do you like best? The system is very robust and can be configured to handle most any requirement or situation. What do you dislike? We began with 4 hours / week of analyst time for implementation. This was not sufficient time to implement this system by our stated Go Live Date. Go Live has been postponed twice, and we are seriously considering a third delay. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Replacing legacy system that ...
