UKG Ready · Timekeeping · Accruals · Scheduling
Your in-house UKG resource, without the overhead.
Apex Core Consulting sits between you and your UKG Ready Implementation team — making sure the system that gets built actually runs the way your business does.
Who we are
20+ years of time & labor expertise, on your side of the table.
Walter Hollop is the founder of Apex Core Consulting and a Time and Labor Management specialist with over twenty years of experience in workforce systems administration and consulting. He brings deep, hands-on experience in UKG Ready time and attendance, accrual, and scheduling modules, having supported organizations from healthcare systems to global pharmaceutical operations spanning thousands of employees across multiple countries.
What sets Walter apart is his experience on both sides of the table: he has built and certified UKG Ready configurations as an implementation consultant, and he has also lived with those systems day to day as a front-end administrator, managing the real-world challenges that come after go-live. Through Apex Core Consulting, he now partners with organizations to bridge that gap, offering requirements gathering, system testing, reporting, and staff training tailored to each client's needs.

Urgent need
Workforce Central end-of-life: March 31, 2027.
Your migration window is closing. We handle the overflow.
The crisis
WFC to UKG Pro Workforce Management
Kronos Workforce Central reaches end-of-life March 31, 2027. Your on-premise deployment stops working in 176 days. Migrations take 6–14 months depending on complexity.
The pain points:
- Your payroll rules don't natively transfer to Pro WFM
- Custom integrations (ADP, Workday, ERP) need complete rebuilding
- Data migration is messy—historical payroll, employee records, custom configurations
- Your team is drowning in complexity. You need overflow support now.
What we do
Migration overflow support
We've lived inside Kronos and UKG systems for two decades. We know exactly where WFC migrations break—and how to fix them without panic or rework.
- Pay rules expertise: We rebuild complex labor calculations, union rules, and custom logic that WFC handled natively but Pro WFM doesn't understand
- Integration rewiring: Your ADP, Workday, or ERP connections need rebuilding—we've done this dozens of times and know the landmines
- Data migration: Historical payroll data, employee records, and custom configurations move cleanly without loss
- Go-live insurance: Overflow support for your team when internal bandwidth runs out in months 4–9
