In January, Facilities Management will begin using Kronos online, as a replacement for the current time clock system. A group of 25-30 Facilities Management staff has been clocking into the Kronos system as well as the regular time clocks since Nov. 19, as a limited parallel payroll run for the December 7 pay period. We anticipate going live with Kronos for Facilities Management sometime in January. Dining Services and IT will join in soon after that.
