Onboarding finishes. The UKG Ready record already exists.
Onboarded creates and updates employee records in UKG Ready over a live API connection, matches rehires before it writes, and reconciles direct deposit the way your account already runs it.
At a glance
Why connect it through Onboarded
The duplicate record nobody meant to create.
A worker comes back for a second assignment. Someone keys them in fresh, and now UKG Ready has two of them, with the pay history split across both. Multiply that by a season of rehires and the cleanup is its own job.
No re-entry between systems
New hire information flows into UKG Ready as an employee record, built from what the worker already submitted.
Rehires match, they don't duplicate
Terminated employee records are matched before a new one is written, so a returning worker keeps their history.
Direct deposit the way you already do it
Reconciliation is configurable: append, replace, or update by sequence, matching the workflow your account already runs.
Reduction in manual data entry. That is what happens when the handoff between onboarding and the systems downstream stops being a person.
Integration features
A live connection, not a nightly export
Records are created and updated in real time against your UKG Ready tenant, using that tenant's own reference data.
Live API connection
Employee records are created and updated in real time rather than batched and swept up later.
Automatic rehire detection
Matching terminated employees are identified before a new record is created.
Configurable direct deposit reconciliation
Append, replace, or update by sequence. You pick the behavior that matches your payroll process.
Reference data from your tenant
Codes are pulled directly from your live UKG Ready tenant, so mappings do not drift out of date.
Inside Onboarded
Rehire matching, before the record gets written.
When a returning worker comes through, Onboarded surfaces the matching terminated employee first. An admin confirms the match, and the record updates instead of duplicating.
Field coverage
90 fields, 5 categories, 17 of them required
Required fields are what UKG Ready will not accept a record without. Everything else is available and configurable per customer.
Fields sent from Onboarded to UKG Ready, by category
Accruals are configured separately, based on your account's time-off setup in UKG Ready.
Beyond this integration
One connection, not the whole story.
Onboarded is the onboarding and compliance engine for high-volume and complex hiring, and UKG Ready is one of 50+ native integrations. Other tools store the worker record. Onboarded runs the work across the systems you already use.
We do not replace payroll, recruiting, benefits, identity verification, or background checks. We make them work as one, with two-way sync rather than a one-way export.
