UKG × PayDay Portal
If you run UKG, your tip data should land in payroll the same way your time data does.
UKG Pro and UKG Ready run payroll and HCM for tens of thousands of employers, and UKG Pro WFM (formerly Kronos Dimensions) runs scheduling and time for many of the same operators. PayDay Portal completes the picture: 150+ pooling rules applied to the actual punches in UKG Pro WFM, FLSA-clean earnings tax-coded into UKG Pro payroll — all without anyone re-keying a thing.
UKG serves 80,000+ organizations with HCM and workforce management.
UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) was formed when Ultimate Software and Kronos merged in 2020, combining UltiPro’s HCM stack with Kronos’s industry-leading workforce management. Today UKG Pro and UKG Ready power payroll, HR, talent, and time for tens of thousands of employers across 100+ countries. PayDay Portal sits in front of UKG to handle the tip distribution and pooling layer that UKG doesn’t natively run — feeding clean, FLSA-compliant earnings into UKG payroll automatically.
Two Layers. One Featured Partner Relationship.
Direct API into the UKG stack
- UKG Pro (REST API) — tax-coded earnings, employees, garnishments — live, not nightly
- UKG Pro WFM — schedule + actual-punch reconciliation (formerly Kronos Dimensions)
- UKG Ready — direct API for SMB and growing businesses
- UKG Pro WFM Mobile — employee earnings visibility integrated
- UKG Pay Card — delivery via the CHOICE engine
- Earnings codes — tax-coded tip earnings pre-mapped to your UKG setup
- Cadence — real-time, daily, or your defined pay cycle
Joint go-to-market across UKG accounts
- Reciprocal recommendations — into UKG’s SMB, mid-market, and enterprise hospitality accounts
- Coordinated implementation — one onboarding plan when both products land at the same time
- Joint customer success — named escalation paths on both sides
- Verified integration — live integration; not a marketplace listing

Schedule + actual + tips, one screen
UKG Pro WFM holds the schedule and the punches. PDP applies the pool rules. The reconciliation everyone has been doing in spreadsheets becomes automatic.

One source of truth
The same number in PDP Insights, the UKG paycheck, and your GL. Year-end reconciliation becomes a glance.
Whichever Side You Start From
Here’s what PayDay Portal adds.
UKG handles payroll, HR, and workforce management. PayDay Portal handles everything that comes before payroll: 150+ pooling rules, FLSA compliance across 45+ states, automated tip-credit math, makeup-pay tracking, declared cash tip handling, and clean payroll-ready exports that flow directly into UKG Pro or UKG Ready.
Add PDP to your UKG stackHere’s why UKG is a strong payroll match.
UKG is uniquely positioned for hospitality groups that already care about labor scheduling: pooling running off the same data as the schedule means fewer surprises. Direct API, joint customer success, and engineering collaboration on the data spec make this a clean setup for shared customers.
