Since 2019, activpayroll has worked closely with Sability, a leading UKG consulting and services partner supporting global organisations based primarily in North America. This long-standing partnership brings together complementary expertise to deliver end-to-end payroll and HR solutions, from strategic planning through ongoing system support. 

Sability provides specialist knowledge across both UKG Pro and UKG Ready, enabling organisations to optimise their payroll and HR processes while maintaining compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Their team’s experience in implementing, integrating, and supporting UKG clients has proven invaluable in helping activpayroll clients navigate complex payroll challenges efficiently. Beyond those core deliveries, Sability’s strategic consulting, program governance, and change management expertise drive stronger user adoption, smoother transitions, and higher overall satisfaction across the organizations. 


Debbie Gibson, Head of Partnerships at activpayroll, says: 

"Our collaboration with Sability has grown stronger and more integrated over the years. Together, we’ve expanded our support for clients across the United States, combining their deep UKG expertise with our global payroll capabilities. This long-term partnership enables us to deliver increasingly efficient and scalable payroll and HR solutions, and we look forward to building on this success in 2026." 

The value Sability brings to clients is a key part of what makes the partnership so effective. 

 Debbie Gibson continues: 

"Sability brings a unique combination of technical expertise and practical experience that directly benefits our clients. Their deep knowledge of UKG Pro and UKG Ready allows us to deliver tailored solutions that improve payroll efficiency, ensure compliance, and support organisational growth. Clients appreciate the seamless integration and proactive support that this partnership provides, simplifying complex payroll and HR processes." 

This collaboration is reflected in the work of Kathy Kruse and Marivic de los Reyes, whose expertise ensures clients receive practical guidance throughout every stage of a project. 

Over the years, activpayroll and Sability have supported numerous organisations in delivering efficient, compliant, and scalable payroll solutions. By integrating Sability’s deep UKG knowledge with activpayroll’s global payroll capabilities, clients benefit from a partnership that anticipates challenges and proactively addresses them. 

Looking ahead to 2026, both organisations aim to expand this collaboration to better support new and existing clients, continuing to build on their shared experience with UKG systems. By leveraging their combined expertise, activpayroll and Sability plan to provide even more tailored solutions that address the evolving needs of global payroll and HR operations. This includes guiding organisations through regulatory changes, optimising processes, and leveraging technology to enhance compliance, accuracy, and efficiency.
