Abby Axelrod

Kronos

• When you miss a punch, don’t clock when you remember, email Abby with the date and time that was missed and continue with the next punch as usual. Be sure the subject line is KRONOS.

• You can no longer use your SSN to punch in/out if you forget your badge. You must learn the 7 digit employee ID number that is found on your paystub. Most have leading 0s such as, 0004567. Newer employees may have less.

How to Use Employee ID # • Select the blue START ACTIVITY button• Enter your 7 digit employee ID # (hit enter)• Your name should appear asking if it’s you. • Hit enter again if correct• Another screen will come up, if you are punching

in/out, just use the arrow down keys until SUBMIT is highlighted and hit enter.

• There is a tutorial on LMS. Search Kronos and it’s KRONOS READER TRAINING.

Accrual Time(VAC, SCK, PER, etc)

• You can put your own time in at the clock. If you need help, call Abby!

• You must use your time if you miss a day, whether it’s part of your FTE or an OT day. You have to account for that missing time.

• Vandyworks and Kronos DO NOT talk to each other. In order to be paid for your time, you have to put it in Kronos.

Approval• It’s important to approve your own time! This

ensures you get paid appropriately and we know your time is correct. You can do this at the end of your last shift for the pay period.

• When you log into Kronos, the APPROVALS button is below your name and pay period.

• Another box should pop up and click approve.

• Any questions/help- contact Abby I’m here Mon-Thurs 5:30a-4p
