July 30, 2024

The first of the 2024 Annual Corporate Education (ACE) sessions begin tomorrow, July 31 at the Alerus Center. A portion of this year’s education and training will be focused on the new Human Resources Management software system known as UKG. To prepare for your ACE session please download the UKG app on your phone or access the desktop browser version to create your account. Each employee is required to have a UKG account.

Directions to access employee’s UKG account:

Employees have two ways to access the UKG payroll system – through a mobile app version and an internet browser version. Below are instructions for accessing your UKG account:

Mobile App: Go to the “App Store” or “Play Store” on your cell phone

  • Search and download the “UKG Pro” app.
  • Once downloaded, open the app and begin the process to gain access.
  • You will be prompted for a “Company Access Code”, enter “valleyonukg”
  • You will be prompted to choose “Sign in with SSO” or “Sign In With Password.” Choose “Sign in With Password.”
  • The next screen will ask for a username and password. Your username is your employee ID, and your password is your date of birth.
    • Username – If you are an individual with a four (4), three (3), or two (2) digit employee number, you will need to add zeros (0) to the front of your ID to make it five (5) digits lon
      • Example: Employee ID 777 would type “00777” Employee ID 7777 would type “07777” as their User Name
    • Password – your password will be your date of birth in number form without “/” to separate the numbers
      • Example: Birthdate is January 13th, 1972. For the UKG password, you will submit: 01131972
  • You will then be asked to create a new password with a minimum of 16 digits (sorry) – when asked for current password, be sure to use the birthdate you just used.
  • You will then be asked to complete some personalized security questions.
  • Upon completing all these steps, you will then be directed to sign in using your username and password to gain access to the system.
  • At that point, if you receive a small pop-up asking to allow notifications – please press allow.

July 12, 2024

The purpose of this communication is to provide you with access to your new UKG account. We strongly encourage all staff to thoroughly review their paychecks issued on July 12, 2024, to ensure accuracy, including differential pay, overtime, pay code, bonuses and any other applicable items.

First Payroll Deposit with UKG:

Today, July 12th, you received your first paycheck through UKG, Valley Senior Living’s new payroll provider.

As part of this change, we have noticed that paychecks deposited into the employees’ bank accounts are currently showing as pending for a longer duration than usual. This delay is primarily due to the process with our new provider, where banks are required to approve transactions, which may take a bit longer than what we were accustomed to with our previous provider.
