Frequently Asked Questions
We received a lot of great questions at our office hours on Monday. We are working on creating an FAQ page for our timekeepers and supervisors. Here are a few questions and answers we have collected for you.
What are timekeepers responsible for doing?
Timekeepers support the administration of time and attendance policies throughout their department/school. They monitor compliance with time and attendance policies and escalate issues to the supervisor/principal. This includes a weekly review of timecards for:
- Clock in/out – requires tracking down and correcting any remaining missed punches or double punches
- Leave – requires checking that leave has been added to timecards to the best of their knowledge, requires follow-up with appropriate supervisor/principal if leave requests are missing or pending
- Transfers – check and apply missing labor level transfers, work rule transfers, and pay codes. Confirm that they are correct and accurate to the best of their knowledge
- Escalate any recurring issues or challenges to the appropriate supervisor/principal for follow-up
- May be required to approve all employee timecards; Varies by department/school
- If you are unclear if this is your role, check with your department head/principal
- Every timecard must be approved by either the supervisor or the timekeeper
What are supervisors responsible for doing?
Supervisors are responsible overall for the compliance of their employees to follow time and attendance policies. They rely on their Timekeeper(s) to help escalate and monitor compliance on a day-to-day basis. This includes a weekly review of timecards for:
- Leave requests that are missing or pending
- Approve all direct report timecards; varies by department/school
- If you are unclear if this is your role, check with your department head/principal
- Every timecard must be approved by either the supervisor or the timekeeper
Student Supervision for Bus Double Backs
Going forward, any employee supervising students due to bus double backs will be paid as follows:
- Non-exempt employees (like TAs) will either remain clocked in until they are done supervising or will clock back in until the work is done. This extra work will come out of their primary position’s account code.
- Exempt employees (like teachers) must document extra time work on a timesheet and give that to their timekeeper by the end of each week
- Exempt employees (like teachers) cannot clock in and out of Kronos yet, they will be able to do so by Oct. 10
- Timekeepers need to:
- Add the clock in and out to Kronos
- Can require employees to clock in and out starting Oct. 10
- Add the “Teacher Extra Work” work rule to the clock in and out time
- Can require employees to select work rule when they clock in starting Oct. 10
- Add the account code for your school (listed below)
- Add the clock in and out to Kronos
