Every sunset signals the end of a day, but also the beginning of something new. For organizations still running on Ultimate Time and Attendance (UTA), the sunset is on the horizon. Which means planning your UTA migration to UKG Pro WFM should start now.
Why the urgency? Beyond the sunset, payroll errors aren’t just inconvenient; they’re widespread. In fact, according to G2, 82 million U.S. employees, or 54% of the American workforce, are affected by payroll problems. Outdated or inefficient systems are a major contributor to these errors, which can lead to compliance risks, frustrated employees, and lost productivity. Migrating to a modern, streamlined workforce management system, like UKG Pro WFM, not only helps prevent these issues but also opens the door to automation, improved scheduling, and a more efficient employee experience.
Migrations may sound overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. In fact, moving early can protect your organization from risk, save time, and lay the groundwork for a more modern and effective workforce management system.
