Across the entire school district we use Kronos for keeping track of hours and work dates. It helps the district keep 2500+ staff members organized and it's easy enough to use. Many staff members use it to predict vacation hours, sick hours to help them plan for their vacations. Having an easy-to-use, organized space to keep track of their hours.
  • Hours tracker.
  • Reports of accrual balances and projections.
Cons
  • For what it is, it doesn't need any improvements.
No matter the size of your business, Kronos Workforce Central is well suited for you to keep track of all of your employees hours, vacation time, sick time and more. If you are a business owner looking for an easy way to keep track of all the staff information for sick time, hours, etc..

UKG Workforce Central is used across our whole organization. It allows us to be able to work with our associates to publish and manage schedules, and process our daily and weekly benefits, such as associates being able to submit their own sick time and vacation requests for approval, but also allows us to enter benefits on an associate's behalf if needed.
  • The app is user friendly, and is accessible for any associates on their personal device
  • UKG Workforce [Central] makes it easy to keep up with the amount of benefit time you have remaining
  • It is easy to see at-a-glance on time cards if there are issues when working through payroll
Cons
  • The minor exceptions (late in) do not put a notification up, but still need to be addressed when processing payroll
  • I would like for it to default to All Home Locations, rather than a blank screen, when you go to run Genies or look at Schedule Manager
As a manager who utilizes UKG Workforce Central to do the daily and weekly payroll tasks required by Human Resources, I believe that this is well suited for us to keep track of hours for our hourly associates, and also well suited for us to keep track of benefits being paid and earned by our hourly and salary associates.

Robust employee time management tool.

I used Workforce Central as a Manager in a retail environment where we managed over 200 employees scheduling and time off requests. At a glance, we were able to keep track of their attendance, see how much time they have logged for a certain period, approve time off requests and more. It was easy to collaborate with the other managers and was a smooth learning curve.
  • Reporting. Employees want to know how much time they have, maybe it is to qualifying Family Leave or to see how much time they have accrued towards vacation.
  • Collaboration. With a large retail environment, you need a simple way for multiple managers to keep track of all employees.
  • Employee Request approvals. It could be done very simply and with either searching their name or employee number.
Cons
  • User Interface: It could be a bit more update for modern UI. It feels like an old database, and although it is easy to learn, it would be less intimidating if it looked and felt more up to date.
  • Searching for multiple dates for a specific employee would be cumbersome and we would have to write down parts, versus adding them on the fly.
Well suited for managing large employee pools. Simple to keep track and manage lots of employees.

  • Meeting the need through technology - Workforce Mobile.
  • User Friendly.
Cons
  • Java Is- Soon to be addressed in upcoming releases - Moving away from a Java based platform
  • Predictive Demand - Health Trending Need yet to be met by Kronos
Strongly recommend understanding your current state, future state business requirements, industry best practices, and the ability to optimize the application prior to implementing the product. Such strategic work has proven to be both very beneficial with all parties but also reduced the 'second guessing' during implementation when deadlines and targets are needing to be met.

KRONOS Workforce Central is being used across the whole organization as its primary timekeeping tool. This tool helps address accurate time keeping of the workforce along with PTO management.
  • Timekeeping including clock punching, web punching, and cell app punching
  • PTO management -- submission, review, auto deduction
  • Pay rules - ability to designate rules based on groups, individuals, and more
Cons
  • As a web-based solution, Workforce Payroll requires internet connectivity for data access – offline capabilities are not available.
  • Being Microsoft-based, browser support is limited to Internet Explorer.
  • Kronos’ international presence will always be restricted as long as Workforce Payroll (and HR) is only available in the English language.
Expectations and requirements need set to make sure it is right or right sized for the company in question. The product can be overwhelming if you do not approach it properly
