Read on to learn more about the Kronos Time solution and how it can optimize your time management initiatives.
What is a Kronos Time Clock?
Kronos Time Clock is an advanced time-tracking system that allows users to clock in and out for shifts, manage attendance and time, process payroll, and schedule shifts with one simple, easy to use interface. UKG offers a comprehensive time management system with an easy-to-use interface that makes it more convenient for employees to log and track time whether they’re in the office or on-the-go.
Key Time Tracking Features
Here are a few of the main time tracking capabilities Kronos Time Clock offers:
Employee Database
The Kronos Time Clock provides a built-in database that manages and stores valuable employee data, like emergency and personal contact information, to be available whenever and wherever they need it.
Reports
This feature gives employees and managers the functionality to run and store reports to ensure the system and its people are running efficiently and effectively. Reports are used to keep track of valuable data and analytics, such as attendance, shifts, and amount of work time.
Automatic Time Capture
This tool saves employees valuable time by eliminating the need for manual time tracking processes. It allows employees to enter and track their time accurately without manual input for every shift.
Support for Multi-User Systems
Multi-user support in Kronos Time Clock allows organizations to add multiple users, including employees, managers, and administrators, to the system.
This way, companies with employees of different levels and locations can keep all information in a single place, making it easier to keep track of time data and manage the system remotely.
Overtime Calculation
Maintaining compliance with labor and overtime laws is important in any business, regardless of size, industry, or location.
Kronos Time Clock offers an overtime calculation feature that makes tracking amount of time worked and calculating overtime easier and ensures that businesses comply with labor regulations.
Billing and Invoicing
The Kronos Time Clock not only keeps track of billable and non-billable hours, but it also generates invoices for employees based on the amount of time worked during a given period.
Bill and invoice generation is a crucial feature that helps companies manage money more effectively and run payroll more accurately for their employees.
