What the buying committee actually pays
Strong workforce-management (scheduling, time) story relative to Workday. Renewal-uplift on multi-year contracts averages 12% per year unless capped in the MSA [2].
What is the PEPM difference between Ready and Pro?
Ready typically lands $8-$18 PEPM for SMB. Pro lands $20-$40 PEPM at enterprise scale. Pro is the right SKU when seat count exceeds 1,000 or workforce-management complexity is the binding constraint.
How are the modules priced?
Core HCM is the foundation. Workforce Management (scheduling, time), Talent (Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance), Payroll, and Learning are paid SKUs. Compensation Management is often bundled in enterprise quotes.
What is implementation timeline and fee?
6-12 months for enterprise UKG Pro implementations led by Mercer, Accenture, or UKG itself. Fee bands $100K-$750K depending on country count and integration scope.
How does UKG handle renewal uplift?
3-year contracts with 5-12% annual uplift clauses are standard. Multi-year commits negotiate the uplift down to 4-6%.
When does UKG Pro beat Workday?
When the workforce-management story (deskless, shift-based, time-and-attendance) is the binding decision factor. Workday wins on global Finance integration; UKG wins on workforce-management depth.
