Kronos Workforce Central Software

Pros

Easy to use with minimal amount of training, Easy to monitor your work team and accruals and remaining vacations etc, Approval process also simple and easy.

Cons

Not compatible with some browsers and Adobe flash player need to run this software. Once sign off Administrator needs to change the corrections, User rights need to be simple.

Needs a complete over haul and re do.

Pros

I do not have any major pros or no pros based on my experience of using this electronic clock in and clock out system

Cons

The fact that it is super sensitive and takes multiple tries and you have to really use the right amount of pressure not too much or too little.

Pros

I have used Kronos as a salaried employee to maintain manage my time - hours worked, vacation days, sick days. I found the reports really useful and I liked having access to the data without having to request it from my HR department. I would audit my hours which was useful as my manager had once coded a national holiday as a vacation day. I was able to catch it and correct it.

Cons

I found the interface to be very dated and not as easy to use as other systems. I would have appreciated information/help sections in the interface to help guide me.

Pros

We use this for timekeeping as part of a much larger parent company. The program is easy to use and the fingerprint scan is really nice.

Cons

We do not have any problems with the software. When we have an issue with the equipment, tech support is quick to assist and replace the equipment if needed.

is one of the best payroll software out there.

Pros

i used to work in a company where kronos was the main payroll software, its really easy to use, very user friendly and i has a lot of features and functionality that makes much more easy generate the payroll

Cons

it is a very expensive software, and there is not much support out there, it is hard to find support locally, now that i work in a medium company the cost of the software is way out of our possibilities

I would recommend this product to larger organizations as it streamlines the payroll process and has robust reporting.

Pros

Especially helpful for managing payroll for employee scattered in the region. I found the tool was very easy for employees to learn and easy for them to document their time even if recording time out of the office. Employees could access their pay information from home and able to print a summary of all the paystubs. It also kept track of their hours earned for PTO and recalculated as they used their PTO hours. This probably worked best for larger businesses such as a 100+ employees.

Cons

Obviously the software cost was a little pricey but the return on the investment of saving time and resources to calculate payroll was quick with a large employee base. It still requires a manager to prompt employees to record their time. It was difficult to make the employee realize that it was their accountability to record their time but even with non-compliance by the employee, it is always the responsibility of the manager to pay the employee. This is more of an business policy then a fault of the software.

Pros

We've had a couple other systems in the past but none as quick and easy to implement and get going as Kronos.

Cons

At times our staff can get backlogged when all clocking in at the same time. Having multiple centers for managing clock in/clock outs clear this up.

Pros

User friendly, especially for customers that may not be advanced using software systems. Customer service reps are hit and miss, but majority of them are helpful.

Cons

When looking for a software that can pair with other software systems to provide a full HRIS systems, this is probably not the system you are looking for.

excelent sw.

Pros

you can have access to all employees time stamp and create reports. Easy to use and understand. Online data all the time from the kronos watches.

Cons

non identified so far. The sw is very easy to use and has a lot of useful information. A section to customize reports will be helpful.

It is worth getting this software only if there are many employees, otherwise it is not necessary. In general good functioning, it does what it is supposed to do.

Pros

It is very easy to record the time of the employees and it is very fast, considerably good point when you have many employees. The system lets you do your reports in great detail.

Cons

There are several fields in which the same information must be written as in previous fields, which increases the probability of human error.

Pros

The visuals of clocking in and out, and the ability to track 12 month history. Can easily go back and print off pay stubs if required.

Cons

There is nothing really bad about the program, easy to use the only downside being cannot clock in or out if the power goes out, other than that it is fantastic.

I highly recommend getting the gold support package. Any issues we had were answered within an hour and the support technicians were HIGHLY knowledgeable about every aspect of the product.

Pros

This product is very easy to use from an IT and a Payroll perspective.
The implementation was easy with the Gold Support package
- Great documentation available
- The support technicians helped for the entire process
- No downtime whatsoever

Cons

I thought this was pretty expensive compared to some other products we looked at but for the amount of people we were integrating (2500 employees) it was worth every penny.

Pros

What I like about this tool is that yo can keep track of all employees hours including vacations and personal time off days

Cons

It is not modern, meaning is not visually attractive. Nevertheless it does what it is suppose to do (track hours)

The old system one had to place their id code in first before placing their finger in. It has many times misread my fingerprint. Than I had to start over again. The new system avoids all of the above.

Pros

It reads one finger print instantly.

Cons

I had forgotten my password and log-in name. How does one retrieve it. Is their a phone number of which I can call? I try using KRONOS yet forgotten and or lost my data of my log-in name and password. How does one get back on. With using the applications etc?

Pros

Look and feel are very good. Software shows a very presentable page for viewing. Software is fairly straightforward and easy to understand and use.

Cons

Scheduling is difficult and the software does not show items scheduled very far into the future. Limits the ability to see items occurring months out.

We are presently looking at bringing Kronos staff in to review our Business Process to ensure we are getting the most out of the system. I know there are features we are not taking advantage of.

Pros

The system seems to work well. Since we are a county we have several really odd schedules, Police and Fire, and some Health staff. So we have to get some configuration assistance to set up the special schedules. Once they get set up, they work fine for our staff. It also has an interface that sends data straight into our ERP, which is very beneficial.

Cons

We seem to have issues with Java and browsers a lot, but that may be due to us as much as the product

Pros

This system makes documentation of employee time quick and efficient, this allows us more time to focus on big ideas and less time doing little day to day menial tasks.

Cons

We have not encountered any challenges with this system. My fellow co-workers and I all agreed it was easy to use

Pros

Does work well with their core functionality. This product has nice feature of integration and interface designer.

Cons

User interface is average. Interface designers could be simplified. Data dictionaries needs more details.

Pros

KRONOS is a great system to utilize for your time and attendance. There are numerous options of deployment such as card scanner's, sign-in/sign-out, etc. As a manager it was easy to make corrections and not as cumbersome as other time force systems that I have used in the past.

Cons

I didn't encounter any issues with KRONOS but if I had to name one it would be if you used the card scanners you have to stock up on these as for some reason employees loosed their cards.

Pros

Used Kronos a while back with another company where I was at and we absolutely were very pleased with the way Kronos works. It's very reliable and you will always have a Rep to assist you in any way.

Cons

The only issue I could point out, was one of the types of machines to clock in, kept having some sort of glitch and when we requested a new one, they wouldn't give us another one under warranty. It was a weird issue, but eventually it got fixed.
