When you leave UKG Pro or Kronos, you still have to retain years of payroll records. A dedicated payroll archive stores your historical pay, payslips and tax data in a secure, searchable, read-only store — so you can decommission the license and still answer any query.
You don’t need to keep the UKG or Kronos system running to keep its payroll data. A payroll data archive takes a complete, read-only copy of your historical UKG Pro / Kronos payroll — pay history, payslips, deductions, taxes and terminated-employee records — into a secure cloud store you (or a provider like Syntra) manage. Then you can retire the license.
That solves the exact problem teams hit after switching payroll systems: the records must be retained for tax, wage-and-hour and audit purposes for years, but nobody wants to pay for the whole platform just to look them up occasionally.
Pull the full payroll history — including terminated employees and prior years.
Load into an encrypted, access-controlled, read-only store, independent of the UKG/Kronos application.
Match record counts and totals source-to-archive so you can prove completeness.
Look up any employee’s pay history for a tax notice, audit or dispute — and give auditors read-only access.
Retire the UKG/Kronos system and stop paying for read-only access.
How long you must keep it: Payroll data retention & compliance →
A payroll data-archival provider (such as Syntra ETL) can take a complete read-only copy of your historical UKG Pro / Kronos payroll — pay history, payslips and tax data — into a secure cloud archive, so you can decommission the license and still meet retention and answer queries.
No. Once the payroll history is archived and reconciled, you can retire the UKG/Kronos license and access records through the archive’s self-service reporting instead.
Yes — it’s encrypted, access-controlled and audit-logged, retained for the full window, and reconciled to source so completeness can be proven for audit.
