Blackout Period for New Hires & Job Changes: Dec. 18 – Jan. 1

There will be a blackout period for new hires and job changes (promotions/transfers) from Monday, December 18, through Monday, January 1. This blackout period is needed to process a 2% salary increase on January 1 properly. (The school board approved this pay increase in November and announced in the Compass on Friday, December 8.)

  • By Friday, December 15: Complete and submit all Hire forms in TalentEd. Hire forms submitted after December 15 must have a January start date and will be held until January 2 for processing.
  • Starting Monday, December 18: New hires and job changes should have a start date after January 2 to allow for processing.
  • Restart unsubmitted ADP changes: Any changes that have not been submitted in ADP by December 15 must be canceled, restarted, and resubmitted after January 2; otherwise, changes may contain old pay information and may overwrite the 2% increase, resulting in impacted employees not receiving the increase.

Kronos Outage (Intermittent)

As many of you may have noticed, Kronos is currently down or responding slowly for some users. We have contacted our partners with Gov IT and they have begun troubleshooting the issue. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please instruct your employees if they cannot log in to clock in/out to note the time for manual entry when the system is back online.

Again this is impacting some but not all users. If employees can log in to Kronos they should continue to use normal processes.

We will keep you all updated on when Kronos is back online.

Reminder for Monday, 11/6/2023

Payroll Timeline

As 11/10/2023 is a banking holiday, we have been asked by the payroll department to move up the deadline for Kronos signoff.

The Kronos deadline for signoff on 11/6/2023 will be 11:00 AM.

Please ensure that all normal payroll Monday processes are completed no later than 11:00 AM. This updated timeline guarantees that all employees receive their paychecks before Friday’s bank holiday.

Making Connections

To help meet this deadline, Thomas Abell will host a Payroll Open Lab session from 8:30 – 9:45 AM during Making Connections. We ask that all timekeepers who plan on attending Making Connections stop by to complete all timekeeping tasks before the 11:00 AM cutoff.

As always, feel free to contact Thomas Abell or Kim Shigeoka with any questions.
