Kronos Documentation for New Employees

You are receiving this as a Kronos Timekeeper or Time Approver.

We are so excited as we gear up to welcome staff and students back, along with new hires!

As you acclimate new hires, please keep these resource in mind:

Overall Kronos resource center.

Employee timecard approval.

Submitting a leave request – teachers.

Submitting a leave request – non-exempt employees (TAs, OAs, support staff eligible for overtime).

Submitting a leave request – other exempt employees.

We are working to update the documentation. Updates will include videos showing the screen and guiding users through each click.

***Please note: Teachers and other exempt employees must enter hours worked per day on their leave request. Otherwise, it will not subtract hours from their leave balance.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

New Teacher Academy Payment

You are receiving this message because you are on the list of timekeepers and/or approvers.

Human Resources has received questions about New Teacher Academy and how new hires are logging their time in Kronos. New teachers have an official start date of August 15th, 2022 and do not go “live” in Great Plains or Kronos until that date. As such, days of work for New Teacher Academy are being logged and daily pay will be entered centrally for those individuals. The goal is for this to happen through Payroll Input, and that it will make their checks on September 2, 2022. Timekeepers and new teachers do not need to take any action, other than signing in daily for the day’s activities.

Please refer to Lauren Price’s email and spreadsheet to complete school-based information and ensure accurate payment.

Registering for ADP

You are receiving this as part of the Kronos Timekeepers and Time Approvers group.

We want to share information that may be helpful as employees onboard. The system is designed to generate a message to the new hire providing the ADP registration information. Right now that process is not working and we are working with the company to address the issue. When the process works as expected, sometimes the emails go to the junk folder, or an employee suspects they are “phishing” and deletes them.

When an employee needs a new registration link, they may reach out to hr@k12albemarle.org for assistance. They can generate new registration emails to employees who may not have received one, or who have lost track of the one they received on hire. Employees should do this from their work accounts, not a personal one, so that we know it is not a phishing request.

Upcoming Holiday Monday

Dear colleagues,

Good afternoon! You are receiving this as a timekeeper or time approver for Kronos. We want to remind you that the upcoming Monday is a holiday, and payroll must run on Tuesday during a compressed timeframe in order for employees to be paid on Friday. Please be certain to remind employees to approve timecards by the end of the day on Friday, and please make arrangements to review and approve the timecards for employees you supervise so they are ready to be pulled electronically on Monday at 1 p.m. This is an automated process to pull the timecards.

Please note that the deadline for anything to come in through payroll input will be NOON on Friday so that the data can be pulled prior to the holiday and reviewed. Please be certain to fully logout of the transaction input module in GP by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 1, 2022. If you do not, the payroll team is unable to pull the file until you do.

Please feel free to reach out to Dan Redding if you have any questions.

Kronos Timekeepers and Approvers Site is Live!

Good morning Kronos Timekeepers and Approvers!

We want to let you know that we have made a site dedicated to the information you need in your timekeeper work. Many thanks to Samantha D’Alessio for her support helping us create and publish this.

https://timekeepers.k12albemarle.org/

This site contains the administrative procedures that were released through the Payroll Clarity Project as well as ADP implementation, and it also contains important information for new hires in your school or department who need assistance getting up to speed with Kronos and ADP. As with the Compass, information is archived here for you to come back and refer to when you need it.

We also want to share some information for our 10-month employees. In general, our ten month exempt employees who follow the student calendar (primarily teachers and roles on the teacher pay scale) will receive their last check for the school year on August 19. Non-exempt ten month staff will receive their last check of the school year on June 24 (for the work period June 4-17). After that, non-exempt staff will only receive checks when they work during the biweekly periods, until they return for the new school year around August 15, and they will see their first check of the new school year on September 2. There are slight adjustments to that schedule for 11 month exempt and non-exempt employees. Those calendars are being finalized and will be posted soon.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Time@k12albemarle.org if you need additional assistance. Thanks for all you are doing!
