For teams evaluating UKG
Evaluating UKG for behavioral health?Put funded positions to the test.
UKG offers HCM, workforce management, and payroll for nonprofits. DATIS e3 brings a behavioral health focus to position control, HR, scheduling, payroll, and reporting. Test how each proposed setup handles a funded vacancy, a staff member serving two programs, and the resulting payroll view.
- One platform. Explore funded positions, program assignments, and role requirements alongside HR and payroll workflows.
- Ground the demo in your work. Bring grant funding, credential, and program questions to both vendors.
