Timekeeping Excellence
Kronos is currently being used across the University of Maryland Medical System. We're using it to address time and attendance (using the Kronos time clock), timestamp (using our intranet), basic scheduling, reporting and in 2016 we introduced Attestation Tool Kit to the organization. For those unaware of this module it gives employees the ability to state if they received their full meal break at the time clock or the web.
- Communication with the Kronos Project Manager - there has never been an occasion when the Project Manager has not made themselves available to get on a call or resolve issues.
- Managing Resources - On many occasions multiple projects were overlapping one another and the Kronos Team was excellent in organizing their time to meet various due dates.
- Resolving issue - Being able to resolve application and database concerns are critical when working on a project and on several occasions we've met to define, research and resolve issues.
- Having a backup when a consultant is on leave has been a concern but the status of the project was never jeopardized.
- Managing consultant leave schedules should be a priority especially when working on a project during peak leave times. Make and keep track of staff leave time to successfully prioritize project tasks.
- Trouble shooting the Transaction Assistant error report is challenging. If a "user friendly" error report could be made it will be extremely helpful.
- The application has made documenting employee hours and overtime calculation user friendly. The experience in using the timeclock and PC has been a positive experience for staff.
During my tenure at my organization we've only used Kronos and have not considered moving to another application to document employee time.

My experience with Kronos has always been positive. I've worked with sales consultants, the accounting department, project managers and application consultants. In all situations they have been professional, timely and prepared to address all issues we've encountered when implementing an application across our organization.
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.
- 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
- 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.
N/A
N/A
- Shift scheduling gives our properties the ability to enforce company attendance policies
- Information readily available for analysis through its reporting feature
- Effective data collection allows our managers to target possible problems with business costs or labor issues
Other than Kronos, I've only used Oracle PeopleSoft HCM for time and attendance. In comparing the two, I find that Kronos is far more high-end and busy and complicated, whereas PeopleSoft is simpler and to the point. With Kronos, there is some refining to do to it to get the time tracking tools to appear simpler, but once you customize it to your needs, it works real well. Again, the key to ensuring that the suite works well for you is to spend time with your Kronos representative who will scale the software to work as you intend it to.

My company decided to use Kronos Workforce Central after reviewing its features and researching the product and hearing from other users that used Kronos. It came down to Kronos' reputation and customer support team.
