Connect to UKG Ready HR API in Minutes

UKG Ready (formerly Kronos Workforce Ready) is an all-in-one HR, payroll, and workforce management platform built for small to mid-sized businesses with 50–2,500 employees. It combines time tracking, payroll processing, talent management, and benefits administration into a single cloud-based system. Bindbee normalizes UKG Ready's REST API data into unified models so you never have to learn UKG-specific schemas or manage API versioning.

How It Works

Your Customer Connects

Your customer authenticates their UKG Ready account through Magic Link — our drop-in auth component. They provide their UKG Ready subdomain, API key, and API user credentials. Setup takes about 5 minutes.

Bindbee Syncs Data

We pull data from UKG Ready's REST API and normalize it to unified models. Initial sync completes in minutes. Automatic incremental syncs keep everything fresh.

You Access via API

One REST API for UKG Ready and 60+ other HR systems. Same endpoint structure, same data models — regardless of which HRIS your customer uses.

Reason bindbee exists_
Why Use Bindbee Instead of UKG Ready's Native API?
Building directly with UKG Ready's API means learning their specific REST endpoint structure, managing API keys and user credentials for each customer, handling pagination and rate limits, and maintaining the integration through every API update. With Bindbee, you integrate once and support UKG Ready plus 60+ other HR systems instantly.

FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up UKG Ready with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link by entering their subdomain, API key, and API user credentials. Initial data sync begins immediately after authentication.

Does Bindbee support both UKG Pro and UKG Ready?

Yes. Bindbee has separate integrations for UKG Pro and UKG Ready, each optimized for that platform's API structure. The unified data models are identical, so your code works the same regardless of which UKG product your customer uses.

What data can I read from UKG Ready through Bindbee?

Bindbee supports 12 data models for UKG Ready: Employee, Employment, Company, Pay Group, Payroll Run, Employee Payroll Run, Benefits, Employer Benefits, Dependents, Dependent Benefits, Timesheet Entries, and Time Off Balances. All data is normalized to Bindbee's unified schema.

Can I write data back to UKG Ready?

Yes. Bindbee supports write-back operations for UKG Ready including creating employees, employee payroll runs (with earnings, deductions, and taxes), and timesheet entries (in Beta). Contact us for the latest write-back capabilities.

How does Bindbee handle UKG Ready authentication?

Your customers authenticate through Magic Link by providing their subdomain, Web API key, and API user credentials. Bindbee securely stores and manages these credentials — they never touch your servers.

What's the difference between UKG Ready and UKG Pro for integration purposes?

UKG Ready uses a REST API with API key authentication, while UKG Pro uses a mix of SOAP and REST endpoints with OAuth 2.0. Through Bindbee, both work identically — same endpoints, same data models, same code. The underlying complexity is fully abstracted.

Does Bindbee support real-time syncing with UKG Ready?

Bindbee performs automatic incremental syncs to keep data fresh. The sync frequency depends on your plan. For near-real-time updates, Bindbee also supports webhooks that notify your application when data changes.

Is my data secure with Bindbee?

Yes. Bindbee is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR ready. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Customer credentials are securely stored and never exposed to your application.

What happens if UKG Ready changes their API?

Bindbee maintains the integration. When UKG Ready updates their API, Bindbee's engineering team handles the migration. Your integration continues to work without any code changes on your end.

How does Bindbee compare to building a direct UKG Ready integration?

Building directly with UKG Ready's API requires 3–6 weeks of engineering time, ongoing maintenance for API changes, and only gets you one integration. With Bindbee, you integrate once in less than a day and support UKG Ready plus 60+ other HR systems immediately. That's roughly 90% less engineering time and zero ongoing maintenance.
