We get asked often how using a boutique payroll provider. differs from using a Company like UKG directly? That question can be quickly answered the moment you have an issue. If you are our client you call one number and are connected to a live person normally within 7 seconds, assuming you don’t just email your CSS directly. In UKG world, they will ask you to self diagnose how serious your issue first, before they can talk to you. Here’s an example  After you’ve read through that you will have 30 seconds of qualification on the phone, before getting in line to have someone answer after a period of waiting where you will have to explain who you are first, before telling your problem. We believe if you have an issue there and then, you need answers there and then. Like a Doctor in a surgery, leave the diagnosing to us!
