Ready to win? We thought so. See the reasons to choose Paycom over UKG every time.

Get the dedicated service you need — not a number in a queue — when you need it.
You haven’t seen world-class service and response times like this. From the moment you become a client, you’re assigned a dedicated specialist with comprehensive knowledge of Paycom’s single software. Our experts truly know your business and can quickly answer any questions you may have.
UKG’s ticketing system puts you in a slow-moving queue — whether you have one or 10,000 employees. This process won’t connect you with a dedicated specialist you can trust. And you could wait weeks to get your ticket resolved.
Boost your bottom line and do what UKG doesn’t: measure real-time usage.
Paycom’s Direct Data Exchange® shows you the ROI of the software — in the software. With this industry-first tool, you can easily gauge employee usage and pinpoint where to increase it for your maximum return — all from an easy-to-use dashboard.
Without a truly single database, it’s impossible to measure usage. When UKG customers use separate, barely connected apps for different tasks, their “solution” saddles employees with a frustrating experience that minimizes ROI.
You know what UKG can’t do? Slash payroll time by up to 90%.*
Paycom’s Beti® takes processing payroll off your plate by automatically building it and empowering employees to find and fix errors in their payroll data before it’s run — so it’s always right. Hello, accuracy with fewer post-payroll corrections and compliance you can count on.
With UKG, employees can’t review and update their pay before payroll is run to prevent voids, reversals, wire transfers and other costly corrections. UKG’s disjointed systems can create disparate data and block visibility into what makes up payroll.

Paycom actually lets you manage all things HR, payroll and benefits in one place.
When we say a single software, we mean it. No app hopping, roadblocks or rekeying that sacrifices security and data integrity. All the tools you need live in one place. Employees enter their data once and it flows seamlessly and securely throughout our software.
UKG’s “single database” came from mergers and acquisitions. Depending on your needs, you may need to access UKG’s marketplace for different apps — even to handle basic tasks related to:
- hiring
- payroll
- benefits
- time tracking
- expense management
- and more
What else are you missing out on with UKG?
Full mobility and functionality for managers
Recruit, hire, onboard, execute PAFs, develop employees and more in the same easy-to-use app.
Top-tier, industry-proven security standards
Paycom’s practices and software are formally audited and ISO- and SOC-certified. We hold two of only 17 Tier IV certifications — the highest award given by the Uptime Institute — in the U.S.
Quick, customizable reports
Paycom easily generates the reports you need with just a few clicks in real time — without additional costs or custom development. UKG’s report functionality requires extensive development knowledge and months (or even a year) of trial and error.
Automated time-off decision-making
We know how complex time-off management gets. That’s why we consider every detail, from seniority and request reasons to blackout periods and performance. While our automated time-off tech ensures fair and equal approvals, it saves your managers from tedious tasks and decision fatigue.
