UKG Ready
Add UKG Ready to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
UKG Ready is the suite built for small and mid sized employers, sold as Kronos Workforce Ready before the merger, and its defining trait is that everything is one system. Where a large enterprise buys an HCM, a workforce management platform and a payroll engine separately, a Ready customer has hiring, employee records, timekeeping, accruals, benefits and payroll on a single employee record, which makes an integration simpler to read and easier to overreach with, since one credential can see far more of a business than your product should be touching. Companies are addressed individually within the platform, so the identifier a customer gives you names their own company rather than the platform as a whole. These are businesses without an integration team, so onboarding has to be something an office manager can complete. fastn holds the credentials per tenant and carries the upkeep.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each employer connect their own UKG Ready company so your product reaches people, time and pay data through one connection.
Read employee records and time entries together, since both sit on the same record rather than in two systems.
Read accrual balances so your product can answer a time off question without anybody opening the payroll screen.
Map only the parts of the record your features need, because one connection here can see much more of a business than most.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent answers a straightforward question about hours or leave for a small employer, with the read logged.
An agent reports which employees have hours recorded but nothing approved before a pay run.
An agent explains an employee's remaining balance without exposing pay detail your product never mapped.
Example prompt
How much leave does each person have left this year, and who has hours waiting on approval?
Set up UKG Ready in 4 steps
- 01Enable the UKG Ready connector in your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each employer authorise their own company, since companies are addressed individually within the platform.
- 03Map the employee, time and accrual fields your product uses, deliberately leaving the rest of the record out of scope.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the UKG Ready integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a UKG Ready integration without building it. Your customers connect their own UKG Ready account inside your product and work their employees, employment records and working time there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: HR data is sensitive and its access rules are stricter than most systems. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a UKG Ready update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed UKG Ready connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep people data current without manual re-entry without wiring it twice.

BoxUKG Ready integration FAQ
How do I add a UKG Ready integration to my product?
Enable the UKG Ready connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own UKG Ready account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no UKG Ready client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own UKG Ready account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own UKG Ready account and only ever sees their own employees, employment records and working time. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this UKG Ready integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent answers a straightforward question about hours or leave for a small employer, with the read logged.
Who maintains the UKG Ready integration?
fastn does. When UKG Ready changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
How is sensitive UKG Ready employee data handled?
Access is scoped per tenant and limited to the fields you map, credentials are encrypted, and every read and write is logged. You expose only what your product actually needs rather than the whole employee record.
Can joiner, mover and leaver changes be automated?
Yes. Where UKG Ready is where a hire, a role change or a departure is recorded, that change can trigger downstream provisioning or removal across the customer's other connected systems. Where UKG Ready sits downstream of the HR system of record, the same event can be pushed into it so its worker list, schedules and access stay in step, which is where most of the manual effort sits.
What can I build with the UKG Ready integration?
A common starting point: let each employer connect their own UKG Ready company so your product reaches people, time and pay data through one connection. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the UKG Ready integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding UKG Ready does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
