6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 3

 Overview

Kronos is the name of a company that develops WorkForce Central, a software

system that automates many time and attendance functions. Kronos has been
manufacturing time and attendance software for more than 30 years, and their
products are in use at most Fortune 1000 companies. At Rollins, Kronos is how we
refer to the new time and attendance system.

Why are we upgrading Kronos? The upgrade will provide access to many improved and
enhanced features in the new Kronos 6.3 version. The upgrade in Kronos is expected to:

• Allow quicker access to Timestamp for time entry.

• Identify missed time punches and administrators approvals.
• Administrators will be able to manage, view and process all Schedules/Time
Off Requests with enhanced filters.
• Provide additional Reporting Tools for Administrators with an option to
download into Excel.
• Workforce Connect is replaced by Workforce Integration Manager, which
makes transferring hours from Kronos to JDEdwards much easier.

How does it work? Kronos keeps track of work, vacation, sick, holiday, training and other
miscellaneous categories of hours. Kronos has two levels of system access: one for every
person in the system and one for individuals authorized to review, approve and make edits
in the system.

Processes will be put in place to handle exceptions, but in general, Kronos timekeeping will
work as follows:

• Time-in and time-out data for non-exempt (hourly paid; eligible for
overtime) employees is entered in the system each workday.
• Everyone will use the system to request paid time off. Administrators will
approve time off in the system.
• Everyone will be able to enter eligible paid time off hours (vacation, sick,
personal/floating holiday, etc.) into the system during the pay period (if not
already pre-approved in the system).
• Authorized administrators will review time and attendance data entered
into Kronos during the pay period, and research or resolve unexcused
hours and missed punches.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 4

 • Administrators will be responsible for approving hours before sending
electronically to the Payroll Department.
• Everyone will be asked to sign off on their hours in the system before
sending to the Payroll Department.
• At the end of the pay period, time and attendance data is sent
electronically to the JDEdwards Payroll system, where it is used to
calculate paycheck amounts.

Salaried employees – Sales Inspectors, Operation Managers, Region/Division/Rollins

Support Center Managers and all other employees paid a monthly salary – will not be
required to clock in and out but will be responsible for approving their timecards at the end
of each pay period.

All of these processes will be explained in full in this Administration Guide. If there are any
further questions, please contact the Payroll Hotline at 1.888.818.2409 or the Help Desk
at 1.800.826.2492.

 Glossary of Terms

Term Description
JDEdwards This is the system that sends updated employee data, including
demographics information, to Kronos nightly. JDEdwards receives
this information from the profiles generated at the Field Locations.

Missing Punches Kronos requires an in-punch and out-punch to indicate a valid

shift. Sometimes an employee’s timecard shows an invalid shift
because that employee forgot to punch when starting or ending a
shift. If this occurs, a missing punch needs to be added.

Schedule Editor This widget maintains all schedules in Kronos.

Work Start Date The effective date on which the employee(s) starts working the
pattern.
Pattern Start Date The effective date on which the pattern starts.
End Date The last date the schedule assignment is effective. To have the
assignment in effect with no end date, accept the default of
Forever.
Accruals An accrual is an amount of time or money that people earn or
accrue, based on the company’s accrual policy, such as sick,
banked sick, vacation, floating/personal holidays, etc.

Reconcile Timecard Provides time and attendance details for each employee for the
Widget current pay period.

Pay Period Close Widget Identifies timecard discrepancies at the end of a pay period by
displaying information within the previous pay period.
Discrepancies that display must be corrected before approving
time data.
Kronos Administrator Location administrator or manager.

Pattern Template A predefined schedule pattern that is saved in Kronos for Kronos
Administrators to use to quickly create employee schedules.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 6

 Rollins’ Payroll Process

JDEdwards sends updated employee data,

including demographics information, to Kronos nightly.
Step 1

Employees record in/out times at a computer using

Timestamp. (Those employees without access to a
personal computer will use the Kiosk computer located in
Step 2 each Location.) The time data automatically appears in the
employee’s timecard.

Operations or Office Managers review, edit, and approve

Timecards
Step 3

Payroll reviews and approves timecards (using

same process as manual processing).

Step 4
Time records are then exported from Kronos and
upload into JDEdwards.

Step 5

JDEdwards applies pay code calculations and

produces payroll processing.

Step 6

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 11

 Module 2
Maintain Schedules

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 12

 Access the Schedule Editor

Purpose Schedules are an important component of Kronos. Schedules are used to track employee
attendance. Assigning employees to schedules allows adminstrators to identify
discrepancies in scheduled versus hours worked. Exceptions such as late, early, and
unscheduled shifts are identified with schedules in place. If schedules are not assigned
missing punches are the only exceptions identified. Schedules are maintained in the
Schedule Editor.

Example An employee is expected to work from 7:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.
In order to verify the employee worked as expected the employee must be scheduled
accordingly.

Steps

Select Schedule Editor from the Related Items

navigation bar.
(Related Items)

Select the drop down arrow for a group of employees

from the Show list.

Select or define a time span from the Time Period

drop down list or accept the default.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 13

 Column or Row Description

Date columns For each day in the selected time period, displays shift start and end;
might also display pay codes to identify scheduled non-worked hours.

Employee Names Lists the employee names in alphabetical order.

Number of Employees Displays total number of employees scheduled for the day.

Scheduled Hours Displays total number of scheduled hours for all employees each day, as well as
total scheduled hours for the entire selected time period.

Total Hours Displays the total number of scheduled hours for each employee during the selected
time period, excluding any automatic meal deductions.

Adding a Shift

Right-mouse click on the employee’s name.

Select Add Pattern, then Shift or Pay Code.

Select the Work Start & Pattern Start Date. Note: These should be the same.
Add the new scheduled shift for each day, then OK.

EE Name

Select Save from the Schedule Editor.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 14

 Add an Ad Hoc Shift

Purpose Adding an Ad Hoc shift allows administrators to add a shift an employee may not typically
work.

Example An employee has agreed to work from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. Saturday to
accommodate a heavy workload. In order for the Administrator to track if the employee is
absent, late or early for their shift, the Administrator must add the shift to the employee’s
schedule.

Steps
Select the appropriate employee.

Click in the date cell for the appropriate employee. Lunch/Breaks

may be added
by double
clicking in the
date cell.
Type the shift begin time and end time separated
by a hyphen “-“ and then Save.

Edit a Shift
Purpose Change a scheduled shift.

Example An employee is scheduled to work from 7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Monday. The employee
needs to come in at 8:00 A.M. due to a personal issue. Change the begin shift time to
avoid the employee receiving an erroneous tardy.

Steps
Click the date cell for the appropriate employee. Highlight the
begin or end shift time being edited.

Type the new start or end shift time and then Save.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 15

 Insert a Shift Template

Purpose Another method to add shifts to an employee’s schedule is by inserting “shift templates.”
A shift template is a reusable tool that contains a shift name, shift description and start
and end times.

Example An employee has agreed to work a shift on Monday. He has agreed to work 7:00 A.M. to
3:00 P.M. This is a common shift. The Administrator uses a shift template to insert the
shift into the employee’s schedule.

Steps

Right-click in the appropriate date

cell, select Insert Shift Template.

Select the appropriate shift.

Click OK, then Save.

then

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 16

 Delete a Shift

Purpose In some cases an employee might not be able to work a scheduled shift. When such
events occur, administrators can remove the shift from the employee’s schedule so the
employee’s timecard does not record an absence when the employee does not report to
work.

Example An employee is currently scheduled to work Friday from 8:00A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The
employee is unable to work the shift because of an excused personal commitment.
Administrators must delete the shift or the employee will incur an absence for the day.

Steps

Right-click the appropriate date cell,

select Cut, then Save.

Caution!!

Administrators can also select a cell and press the Delete

key on the keyboard to remove a shift. Note: however,
deleting a shift with the Delete key permanently removes
the shift; The Restore feature cannot be used at a later
date. A shift must then be manually re-entered. Therefore,
unless a permanent delete of a shift is required, the Best
Practice would be to Cut as described above.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 17

 Restore a Deleted Shift
Purpose If an employee’s plans change or a shift was deleted in error, the deleted shift may need
to be restored.

Example An employee is able to make his shift on Thursday, not Wednesday. Since the shift has
been cut from the employee’s schedule, the shift can be restored easily. If the shift is not
restored, the employee will have an unscheduled exception when they punch in for the
day.

Steps

Click on the Employee’s Name.

Click in the Blank Schedule field.

Select Actions from menu, then Restore.

then Save.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 18

 Override a Pattern Template

Purpose A pattern template is a predefined schedule pattern that is saved in Kronos for
Administrators to use to quickly create employee schedules.

Example An employee is currently scheduled to work 7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Monday through
Friday. The employee is switching jobs and now works from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M
Monday through Friday. A new Pattern Template needs to be applied to override the
employee’s current schedule assignment.

Steps

Right-click on the appropriate employee’s name

choose Add Pattern, then select Shift or Pay
Code.

In the Work Start Date box, specify the

effective date on which the employee(s) starts
working the pattern.
In the Pattern Start Date box, specify the
effective date on which the pattern starts.

In the End Date box, specify the last date the

schedule assignment is effective. To have the
assignment in effect with no end date, accept
the default of Forever.

Click Insert Pattern.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 19

 Select the appropriate
pattern template. Click
OK.

If prompted, select
Yes to Confirm

then Save

Review Time and Attendance
Data

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 21

 Review Employee Data using the Reconcile Timecard

Purpose The Reconcile Timecard widget may be a default widget upon the initial login to Kronos.
The Reconcile Timecard widget provides time and attendance details for each
employee for the current pay period. Each row in the workspace corresponds to an
employee’s time information for the specified time period. Employee names appear in the
left column. Additional information, such as missed punches and unexcused absences,
appears in the columns to the right.

Example Administrators want to review time data for all employees to ensure all missed punches
and unexcused absences are addressed.

Steps

Select the Reconcile Timecard

widget or select from the Related
Items navigation bar.
(Related Items)

Select the drop down arrow for a group of employees

addressed, an employee’s pay will not calculate accurately.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 22

 Sort Data in a Widget
Purpose Employee information can be sorted in ascending or descending order by the content in
one or two of the columns. Sorting allows data to group together specific information
within the widget.

One of administrators primary responsibilities in Kronos is to edit all unexcused absences

and missed punches. Review the Reconcile Timecard widget on a daily basis to review
any occurrences that require an edit. To make this process quick and efficient sort the
widget by Unexcused Absence and Missed Punch columns in descending order. This
quickly identifies those timecards that need to be corrected.

Steps

Double-click the Unexcused Absence

column heading.

Double-click the Missed Punch column

heading.

Review the information listed within the top rows

of the Reconcile Timecard widget.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 23

 Run and View a Report

Purpose Reports extract time and attendance information from the Kronos application. Different
types of reports can be generated to view key information in easy to read formats.
Reports can be printed or viewed on the screen.

Reports can provide data that help administrators make timely business decisions, such
as managing tardiness in the department or providing information to assist in
investigating an incorrect paycheck.

Steps

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 26

 Access Timecards from a Kronos Widget

Purpose There are two methods to access employees’ timecards in Kronos. Administrators can
access an individual or multiple timecards depending on what needs to be accomplished.

Example While reviewing the Reconcile Timecard widget, a checkmark in the missed punch
column for an employee is indicated. Open the employee’s timecard to review the details
of the missed punch.

Steps for Accessing an Individual Timecard

Locate the employee name whose timecard

needs to be accessed. Double­click the
employee’s name within the widget.

Steps for Accessing Multiple Timecards

Single­click the first employee’s name

within the widget. Hold the Ctrl key and
click on other employees’ names.

Right-click on the Employee’s name, then

One employee’s timecard displays at a time.

Click the dropdown arrow in the Name & ID
field and select the appropriate employee’s
name from the list.

or

Click the Arrow to navigate to the next

employee’s timecard.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 27

 Timecard Components

Purpose An Employees’ time is captured and populates a timecard. The timecard workspace is
where edits are performed such as missing punches, unexcused absences, and applying
comments.

Column or Row Description

Employee Information Displays the name and employee number for the employee currently displayed.

Timecard Grid Displays employees punch details; the time the employee began and ended their
shift. Also, displays the total number of hours worked as well as any exceptions
(deviations from what the employee was scheduled to do).

Timecard Tabs Totals & Schedule displays the total number of hours worked by pay code as well as
the scheduled shifts.
Accruals display the employee’s accrual balances.
Audits keep track of all edits applied to an employee’s timecard.
Sign-Offs, Requests & Approvals indicates sign-off dates & times.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 28

 Correct a Missed Punch

Purpose Kronos requires an in-punch and out-punch to indicate a valid shift. Sometimes an
employee’s timecard shows an invalid shift because that employee forgot to punch when
starting or ending a shift. If this occurs, the missing punch needs to be added. The
timecard grid is used to add, change, or delete punches.

Administrators should review timecards on a daily basis. One common edit is missed
punches. Sort the Missed Punch column on the Reconcile Timecard widget in
descending order to determine which employees have a missed punch. Open each
timecard and edits the time. If no punch is added, the employee will not be paid correctly
for the day.

Example An employee punched in on Monday and forgot to punch out at 3:00 P.M. His daily shift
totals are blank, indicating the employee will not be paid for the day.

Steps

Click in the In or Out punch cell

containing the missed punch exception.

Type the appropriate time using an

acceptable format and then Click Save. then

Delete a Punch

Purpose The deletion of punches is discouraged because these records reflect actual times an
employee worked. There are two exceptions to this rule; the employee punched twice
(double-punch) or the Administrator added an incorrect punch.

Example When reviewing an employee’s timecard, it’s noticed that the employee has punched in
twice Tuesday. The employee punched in at 7:00 A.M. and a second time at 7:15 A.M.
Kronos misinterprets the punches and adds a missed punch to the day. The second
punch needs to be deleted because of the mistake. The punches can then calculate
correctly and the missed punch exception is deleted.

Steps
Click the cell that contains the punch to
be deleted.

Press the Delete key on the keyboard

and then Click Save.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 29

 Attach a Comment

Purpose Comments are predefined descriptions that can be attached to a punch or pay code to
provide additional information about that transaction. As many comments as needed may
be added to explain the punch or pay code. Comments are used to explain a punch
performed by an employee or the reason an edit was performed by a Administrator. The
use of comments is a Best Practice. Comments enhance the audit trail and explain the
reason for an edit.

In order to track why edits have been performed or why an employee punched a certain
way use comments from the predefined list.

Example An employee punched in late on Tuesday. Add the Late – Child Sick comment as the
reason for the late punch. Adding a comment allows the audit trail to be enhanced. Make
it a practice to attach the appropriate comment to every edit.

Steps

Right-click the appropriate punch or

Amount cell and select Add Comment.

Select the appropriate comment.

Click OK.

Business Practice

To have a comment added to the list of defined

comments, contact the Help Desk at 1­800­826­2492.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 30

 Cancel an Automatic Meal Deduction

Purpose To pay an employee for working through their meal break.

Example An employee worked through their meal break and needs to be paid for the time. The
automatic meal deduction must be cancelled in order for the employee to be paid for the
additional worked time.

Steps

Right-click the appropriate out-

punch. Select Edit Punch.

Click the drop-down arrow on the

Cancel Deduction field. Select the
appropriate meal deduction.

Click OK.

Click Save.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 31

 Add Non­worked Time for an Entire Shift

Purpose When employees are scheduled to work and do not punch in for their shift, a checkmark
displays in the Unexcused Absence column of the Reconcile Timecard widget.
Unexcused Absences are corrected by adding a pay code amount in the employee’s
timecard.

Example An employee’s timecard displays an unexcused absence exception on Wednesday. The

employee had taken a vacation day that day. Add 8 hours of vacation to the employee’s
timecard.

Steps

Click the drop-down arrow on

the Pay Code field. Select the
appropriate pay code.

Click in the Amount cell. Type the

number of hours being taken or
appropriate schedule

then click Save.

6 3 Kronos Administration Guide 32

 Add Non­worked Time on a Worked Day

Purpose There are times when employees work a portion of a shift and take time off on the same
day. The employee records their in and out-punches and a new row must be added to
record the non-worked time. Worked time and non-worked time cannot reside on the
same row.

Example An employee wants to be home for his daughter’s birthday dinner. In order to be home in
time he has chosen to take a half day vacation. He works half of his shift on Wednesday
and takes the remainder of the day as a vacation day. 4 hours of vacation must be added
to ensure the employee is paid for the time.

Steps
Click the Insert Row icon next to the
date the pay code is to be added.

Click the dropdown arrow on the

Pay Code field. Select the
appropriate pay code.

Click the Amount cell. Type the

 Final Review of Timecard Data

Purpose The Pay Period Close widget helps identify timecard discrepancies at the end of a
pay period by displaying information within the previous pay period. Any discrepancies
that display must be corrected before approving time data.

It is the Administrators responsibility to ensure that all employees’ timecards are ready for
payroll processing. Unexcused absences and missed punches must be updated prior to
the next payroll period. These are both completed in the Pay Period Close widget.

Steps

Select the Pay Period Close

widget or select from the
Related Items navigation bar. (Related Items)

Select the drop down arrow for a group of employees

from the Show list. The Time Period defaults to the
Previous Pay Period.

 Approve a Timecard

Purpose Approvals are performed for previous pay period data. An Administrator must approve
each employee’s timecard at the end of the payroll cycle. Once the approval is applied,
edits can no longer be made to the employee’s timecard without first removing the
approval.

Example It is the Monday following the end of a pay period. Administrators have been performing
all the necessary edits to the employees’ timecards throughout the pay period. The Pay
Period Close widget should be accessed and sorted by the Missed Punches and
Unexcused Absences columns to investigate if additional edits are required prior to
applying approval. Once any last minute edits have been addressed the apply approval is
ready for the prior pay period.
