Overall Satisfaction with Kronos Workforce Ready

I think KRonos Workforce Ready is a great product with a lot to offer its clients.
Kronos Workforce Ready is used across the whole organization. We have all of our employees and contractors in Kronos WFR. We bill customers by the hours worked on projects so our employees record hours by project/tasks in Kronos. We use the accrual function in Kronos so employees can request time off and review their time off balances.
  • Kronos WFR does a good job managing our accrual policies once it has been configured.
  • The reporting is better than most timekeeping systems I have used before.
  • Kronos WFR is great for small to medium sized companies.
  • WFR does not have the Historical Edits feature that Workforce Central has. Once a timesheet has been locked and processed in payroll you should not go back and modify that timesheet. What you need is the ability to make a correction on the current timesheet for a previous pay period so that you can process the correction with the payroll but for reporting you can have the corrected hours reflect in the pay period in which it should have been processed.
  • When reviewing timesheets I would like to be able to lock the timesheets that have been approved and ready for processing instead of having to wait until all timesheets in the pay period have been completed to lock the pay period.
  • I would like to have a sandbox of my system to test new configurations in instead of having to do it in my live system and creating test employees.
  • I can not tell you what the ROI has been since Kronos WFR was implemented prior to me working for the company. I do know that a lot of employees have said they liked it better then how they were reporting project hours before.
All I can say about Kronos is they know timekeeping. I have used both Workforce Ready and Workforce Central for timekeeping, projects/tasks, accruals, and attendance. Kronos does a great job. I can not speak to the HR and Payroll modules of these systems as I have never used them but for timekeeping, Kronos rocks!!!
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Vendor Reputation
Workforce Ready is well suited for small to medium sized companies that do not need a complex tracking system for projects. I would not recommend Workforce Ready for large manufacturing companies. Kronos Workforce Central is more suited for large companies that have more complex tracking needs.
