Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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

Robust employee time management tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for managing large employee pools. Simple to keep track and manage lots of employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
UKG Workforce Central (formerly Kronos Workforce Central) is used as the timekeeping system for the city. In addition to traditional timekeeping, we leverage it to keep track of hours related to grants, projects, or specific activities. We also interface it with Workforce Telestaff and pass through scheduling and accrual details. It is used by the entire city proper. The public safety divisions leverage Workforce Telestaff.
Pros
  • Smartphone-specific application
  • Clean UI
  • Adaptable
Cons
  • Support is inconsistent
  • Some additional functionality is billed at a premium
  • Rule development appears to be challenging in our organization
Likelihood to Recommend
UKG Workforce Central (formerly Kronos Workforce Central) is a great program to help me understand workforce utilization. I can project out accruals for my team and discuss upcoming issues with staffing. I am also able to identify hours charged to projects to determine burn-down and to assist me with understanding reimbursable costs (e.g., related to COVID). It also maintains accurate login information for end-users so you can determine if a mobile punch was made and the geolocation of that punch.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Kronos Workforce Central is used by each one of the properties that we manage. We are in the hospitality industry, and our hotels use this software every day to record, approve, and report time. Kronos is a trusted provider of timekeeping software and solutions that has only gotten stronger with time. What I like about the suite is that it comes in desktop and mobile versions. The desktop is all-intuitive giving each user the ability to navigate across workspaces, or tab groups that allow them to access different segments of the software. For instance, the My Information tab is the one-stop dashboard that all employees can access to view their swipe entries, requesting time off, and view their pending request. At the management level, other tabs for Payroll and Timeclock Setup can be accessed, and each tab gives the user a good set of tools to aid in decision making.
Pros
  • Easy to use and navigate
  • Web-based, can be accessed anywhere, anytime
  • Quick Links makes it easy to find frequently-used options
  • Extensive range of setup tools to customize user experience
Cons
  • Training required to use the product effectively, not simple at first
  • Dependent on Java, frequent updates to Java necessary to continue using the Kronos platform
  • Reporting tools are extensive and solid, though some reports can only be extracted in PDF, not in the more usable Excel format. How Kronos determines which can be extracted in Excel vs. PDF, I can't tell.
Likelihood to Recommend
Kronos is great for recording time and for reporting, when used effectively. What I like about Kronos is that their Customer Support team is always very knowledgeable and helpful in a bind. Which means that when I don't necessarily know where to access a particular set of tools, I can call a Solutions rep and they know exactly where to point me to achieve the results that I need. Like most software, it is not recommended for very basic users; users should be comfortable accessing a computer or smart phone to use the suite. Kronos is well suited for those businesses have hourly employees that are required to swipe in and out to record their time. Swiping in can be done at a physical kiosk/timeclock, or from a computer. If a location is equipped with a physical kiosk/timeclock, a good support technician that knows how to resolve random errors should be present to assist when needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
WFC was used as a timekeeping software for their main workforce. It was used to manage unexcused and excused time off, lunches, break, lateness and early departures. It also used aggregate time to calculate accumulated paid time off.
Pros
  • WFC aggregates the entire timekeeping and management in one system.
  • The software makes scheduling very easy according to staffing and workforce needs, and will do some of the work for you.
  • Edits are incredibly easy to make.
Cons
  • There are some areas and situations where management and technical staff are locked out of editing or correcting an error, and this should be addressed.
  • The ability to view workforce by department and by department needs can be useful for more thorough scheduling.
  • Designations for FT and PT workstaff and those with specific scheduling restrictions should be more pronounced.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it is more suited to a larger company with many departments rather than a smaller company with fewer scheduling needs. The capabilities of the software are much more complex than a smaller company would need, but should that company grow, a relationship should be maintained for possible future utilization.
