You are receiving this as a Kronos Timekeeper or Supervisor.

We hope the first few days of school have gone smoothly – we’ve seen and heard great things!

We continue to onboard and process new hires. We know some new hires who cleared background checks (TB screen/test and fingerprints) were able to start prior to being set up in Great Plains and making it into Kronos. As a reminder, you must be tracking time on paper for these employees until they can punch in Kronos. These employees will likely not receive a paycheck on September 2, 2022.

As soon as these employees appear in Kronos you can enter the hours worked for that pay period. Time entry in a previous pay period does not generate pay. You can also enter the Historical Correction at that time for the previous pay period to get into the payroll processing for the following run. These entries are time sensitive and may not make it into a run the week after entry. Please reassure the employee that you are tracking time and pay will be caught up based on the historical correction and entry in Kronos.

Finally, please be sure to point new hires, especially non-exempt new hires to the Kronos training materials so they are aware of how to punch in and out of work. Their timecards should be reviewed carefully for the first several pay periods to ensure accuracy and prevent under or over payment!

Those who enter temp and sub pay in Great Plains Payroll Input please remember you must fully exit the payroll input system no later than 1:00 p.m. Monday, August 29 so that the data can be pulled for the September 2 check!

Thanks for your diligence, and thanks for making the return to school for students and families and return to work for ten month employees amazing!! Please reach out with any questions.
