UKG Employee Referrals, Powered by ERIN

UKG handles HCM and payroll. ERIN handles the modern employee referral program, and pushes bonuses straight back into UKG payroll so no one has to chase reconciliation.

01The problem

Why UKG's native referrals aren't enough

No mobile-first referral experience

UKG's referral capabilities aren't designed for frontline workers to use on their phone in 30 seconds.

Bonuses don't flow cleanly

Even though UKG runs payroll, native referral bonuses still require manual eligibility and payout tracking.

No referral marketing layer

Recruitment marketing needs separate tools for campaigns, branded assets, and contests.

02How it works

ERIN + UKG, integrated end-to-end

UKG stays your system of record. ERIN handles the employee referral experience and pushes everything back automatically.
