Overall Satisfaction with Kronos Workforce Ready

Kronos Workforce Ready is primarily used as an HR/Payroll function.
  • Ease of payroll
  • Timekeeping
  • Reports: Easy to create reports for all areas of HR/Payroll.
  • Employee maintenance
  • Carryover time: When making adjustments time shows up in earned for the year instead of under carryover which confuses employees.
  • Need an easy way to see exceptions/absences for an employee.
  • KWR is easy to use which saves time and money.
  • KWR is multifunctional so you are not having to use multiple programs.
Kronos Workforce Ready is far superior in regards to time and attendance. Allowed for more flexibility and equipment was more reliable.
Kronos Workforce Ready has been an asset to our company. It allows us to provide our employees access to their current information anywhere from pay to time off to benefits, is user friendly, and is a major component in timekeeping and payroll for our company. We are able to create and fetch reports as needed for various business reporting/audits. Kronos is flexible, and their customer service is unmatched.
KWR allows me to perform all of my payroll duties/employee management in one place. In regards to payroll, it is also a second set of eyes, bringing attention to anything that may seem amiss for your review before completing processing.
Kronos has outstanding customer service. The representatives are very responsive and knowledgeable. They also offer constant webinars to keep you up to date with the latest updates to KWR and changes that may impact your business. The trainings are thorough and they offer printed materials to go along with the trainings, which are conducted by knowledgeable staff.
Kronos Workforce Ready is well suited for a factory setting where employees are working swing shift and must clock in/out using a time clock. The time clocks are more reliable than others we have worked with in the past. It works well for time and attendance and transferring this information over to Payroll.

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.
