UKG Ready offers a comprehensive suite for workforce management, but many businesses still face challenges around employee access and engagement—especially in environments with limited desktop access. That’s where an employee self-service (ESS) kiosk comes in.

If you’re looking for a practical, cost-effective way to extend UKG Ready functionality to your frontline or deskless employees, a self-service kiosk can bridge that gap. Here’s how you can set one up—and why CloudApper hrPad is a strong choice.

What Is an Employee Self-Service Kiosk?

An ESS kiosk lets your employees independently perform HR and timekeeping tasks like:

  • Clocking in/out
  • Requesting PTO
  • Viewing schedules
  • Accessing pay details
  • Submitting feedback
  • Asking HR questions

It’s especially useful in environments like manufacturing, healthcare, retail, or hospitality—where employees aren’t sitting in front of a computer. A kiosk acts as a centralized access point that links directly with UKG Ready.

Using UKG Ready with a Self-Service Kiosk

UKG Ready offers robust employee self-service capabilities—and with CloudApper hrPad, you can bring those features to life through a fully interactive kiosk experience. Our solution integrates seamlessly with UKG Ready and can be fully customized to match your organization’s HR workflows and policies.

CloudApper hrPad turns any iPad, Android tablet, or Windows device into a dedicated self-service station, making it easy for employees to track time, manage schedules, request time off, and get instant HR support—all in real time and fully synchronized with UKG Ready.

How the Setup Works with CloudApper:

  1. You Pick the Device — We Handle the Rest
     Whether you choose an iPad, Android, or Windows tablet, our team will configure the device and set it up to work seamlessly with your UKG Ready environment.
  2. Fully Integrated by Our Solutions Team
     You won’t need to install anything or manage configurations. We handle integration, ensure accurate data sync, and tailor the kiosk functions to your HR policies.
  3. Secure Access for Every Employee
    Enable secure login using Face ID, QR codes, barcodes, or NFC. This prevents buddy punching and ensures only authorized employees access the system.
  4. We Customize the Features for You
    From time tracking and PTO requests to shift bidding and custom forms—we configure everything based on your needs. You control what employees see and can do.
  5. Your Kiosk, Ready to Go
     Once we’re done, you simply place the tablet in a common area. It’s fully functional and ready to provide employee self-service, connected in real-time to UKG Ready.
