I had a case where scheduler was not performing as expected and the tech agent spent a great deal of time getting it to work in the test environment. We then got on a live screen share call and I still had the same problem and he escalated it Engineering who got it resolved.

Recently had an issue with a pay calc for a new EIN and I was in a panic. I received a call almost immediately to help walk through the issues. Fortunately we were able to get it fixed prior to the payroll submission deadline and I am able to go back and review the previous pay period for errors.

Also, when we installed the two clocks at the new EIN, I didn't have much experience with clocks, but the support person walked me through how enter the terminals in the system, explained what I needed when actually configuring the clocks and provided support when there was an issue with one of the clocks not working correctly.

Bruce N. worked with me on an accrual profile issue that is specific to the work calendars in schools. He went above and beyond testing our system to determine exactly what was going on and how the system worked. Then, he explained it in detail so I could take it back to my very non-technical HR team to determine the best options for our district. Shawn C. has also helped me several times with our Timesheet and Pay Calculation profiles. She is both incredibly knowledgeable and so fun to work with. Whenever she calls, I know that not only are my questions going to be answered, but I'm also going to learn a lot and enjoy the conversation tremendously! I love working with both of them!!!

When we initially started with UKG, the customer service was great. Using the community helped me enter details and screenshots so the rep could research before calling me back. This really helped resolve issues faster.

When I took over this position I did not have much training on anything within the position. The support team went above their call of duty and showed me how work flows went and also how they could be mapped out. They also where A LOT of help during our COVID-19 lay off and how we can handle things. They helped me create new security profiles and explained to me the best way to do with what we had set in our minds.

Our "go to" person at the time was named Michelle Buchanan. I was having difficulty setting up an employees taxes who lived in one state but worked in another. It was becomming very frustrating and it didn't help that I was new to payroll processing. Michelle was, number one, very patient with me. She kept me calm and walkeed me through the necessary steps. I really appreciate all of the assistance she provided to me.

We were having an issue with checks printing and we received almost immediate assistance. The first person attempted to help the best she could, but as soon as she realized she may not be the best fit and knew someone with more knowledge of our Middleware system, she escalated our issue to this person who was extremely responsive and had our checks printing within minutes.

We have recently upgraded to WFR. The implementation process was well managed. During our conversion from the implementation team to KGS we had a 4 week window of time where we met with a Kronos product support person who specifically reviewed all the key areas of WFR to ensure we were comfortable with the product & how the setup works. It was a very good transition.

I have had Front Line staff review report functions that are standard to the Payroll Module in Workforce Ready when these report became inoperable (See my comments regarding System Bugs). These reports are Core Essential for our Workflow process. With the help of Front Line staff, and the incredible potential of the Reporting system in Workforce Ready, the Customer Service team member was able to completely replicate the report I needed in minimal time.

Kronos has provided exceptional service many times especially when migrating two services together. It was great that they were able to help with so many people and accounts and merge everything successfully. It caused minimal issues, but those were resolved quickly thanks to the diligence of the support team and their service.
