Understanding Your UKG Dashboard

Your UKG dashboard may look different depending on your role. The dashboard is intended to help you easily locate the information that is most important to you as an employee.

Dashboard View

Helpful Dashboard Resources

  • Alert Bell

    Your notification is located in the top right-hand corner of your dashboard. The bell is one of the most important features for employees. The system will alert you with important information for necessary for your review.

    Your notification bell provides you with three tabs:

    My To Do Items, My Notifications, and My Checklists

    • My To Do Items

      Here you will find items that require action from you:

      Missing Punches: Notifications that require you to go to your timesheet and enter a forgotten clock-in or clock-out punch

      Task Assignments: Specific “To Do” items assigned by HR, such as acknowledging a new policy or signing a document.

    • My Notifications

      This is your informational feed. These messages usually confirm that an action has taken place or alert you to a status change:

      Payroll Alerts: Messages regarding direct deposit changes or the availability of new pay stubs

      Request Status Updates: Confirmation that your own time-off request was approved or denied by your manager.

      System Alerts: Notifications when a timesheet has been submitted or signed off.

      Company Announcements: Broadcast messages or huddle updates sent by your organization to all employees.

    • My Checklists

      This tab houses structured, multi-step workflows that often involve uploading documents or completing several related forms:

      Offboarding:
      A series of final tasks for employees leaving the company, such as equipment return checklists.

      Onboarding/New Hire Tasks:
      A list of items for new employees, such as verifying personal info, tax withholding forms (W-4), and setting up direct deposit.

      Compliance & Certifications:
      Items requiring you to upload copies of licenses, TB test results, or drug screen documents.

      Open Enrollment:
      Step-by-step guides for selecting or changing benefit plans during the annual enrollment period.

  • UKG Menu

    Training Materials:

  • Clocking In & Out

    Hourly Employees: How and where you clock in depends on your role. Check with your manager or supervisor to determine the correct method for clocking in based on your role.

Here is where you can view and manage your time, time off, and historical information. Open each section to find additional information and training materials.

Timesheet

  • Current Timesheet

    The Current Timesheet page serves as the central hub for employees to track their hours, manage schedules, and ensure they are paid accurately. You can view and make changes to your timesheet.

    You must SUBMIT your timesheet for approval at the end of each pay period.

    If your timesheet is rejected, you will receive an email and can follow the prompts in your alert bell for My Notifications or My To Do Items.

  • Historical Timesheets

    In the Historical Timesheet (or Historical Corrections) section of UKG, employees manage their records for pay periods that have already been signed off and processed for payroll.

    Key Characteristics of Historical Edits:

    Visual Indicators: Historical corrections are often marked with a diamond icon or a specific note like “Edited after sign off” to distinguish them from regular entries.

    Payroll Impact: Approved historical edits typically trigger a “historical correction” that is paid out on the next available pay period rather than re-opening the old one.

    Locked Interface: The background of historical timecards may appear gray to indicate they are in a “signed-off” state and require specific “Enable Edits” permissions to change

  • Change Requests

    In the Change Request section of UKG, employees see a personalized view proposing specific adjustments to their time records and a tracking log to monitor the status of those requests.
