How the UKG Ready integration works

UKG Ready is one of Matter's supported HRIS platforms and is most often used by small and mid-sized teams that run HR, payroll, and workforce management in one place. When connected, UKG Ready employee data can sync into Matter to help streamline profile management, reduce manual updates, and keep recognition, rewards, and survey programs current.

After setup, Matter automatically syncs with your HRIS, and later syncs run every 24 hours to keep data current. Admins can set up your HRIS integration and manage actions like starting a sync immediately, viewing sync history, reconnecting the HRIS, or disconnecting it when needed.
