UKG Pro Benefits Hub helps organizations administer employee benefits and supports employees as they choose coverage. Its dashboard presents benefit and plan information alongside educational material during enrollment. Employees can compare plans side by side, review policies, and use Model My Pay to calculate take-home pay under different scenarios. The product supports open enrollment and life events, with tools for employees to manage information and record changes. Real-time HR and Payroll integration keeps eligibility and deduction calculations up to date without manual entries. Payroll Gateway lets teams preview and validate transactions before payroll batches are committed, while missed deductions can be managed as arrears in future payrolls. Carrier Connectivity transfers enrollment information to carriers, and launch services create EDI files: up to three standard files, or up to five with UKG Pro Premium Benefits Services. The product also includes benefits census reporting and an ACA Manager for ACA reporting and state compliance tracking. It is accessible on the web and mobile devices. Pricing is by quote; UKG directs prospective customers to contact sales.
