1. ODOT Employee Training UPDATED 8/8/2013
Welcome everyone to the training. Explain to them that today’s presentation is designed to walk them through slides showing the various features of Kronos and what they will be expected to do. You’ll be covering how to enter time into the timesheet, how to submit Time Off Requests (aka TORs, the replacement for RFLs) and how to approve timesheets.

2. Accessing Kronos The Kronos application utilizes single sign-on.
A short-cut to Kronos will be on your desktop.
Kronos utilizes single sign-on, also known as Active Directory. Once you log into your computer, you should find an icon on your desktop with the Kronos logo. Clicking on this shortcut will log you into Kronos.

3. Capabilities in Kronos
Enter sign in and sign out time daily
Several different methods
Time off Requests
Approve Time Cards
Check Accrual Balances
Not replacing EMS/TMS and employees will need to continue filling out the 502. Make note of the fact that the TOR component integrates into the Timesheet, so once a manager approves a time off request it will automatically populate on the employee’s timesheet.

4. Expectations as an Employee
Sign in and out of Kronos daily
Enter time off requests
Approve time card at the end of the pay period
By 10 am on the Monday after payday
Check accrual balances at the end of every pay period
Most important thing here is that employees will not need to complete their timesheets until 10:00 AM on Monday morning after payday. That way if they work over the weekend, the time will automatically be captured and adjustments won’t necessarily be made.

5. Signing In and Out 4 Methods to Signing In and Out
Web Application Via a PC
InTouch Device
Teletime
Mobile Application
Each of the county garages and some of the outposts will be equipped with InTouch devices. Additional methods for capturing time will be through the computer which will be utilized by office employees and some field employees working on construction sites. For employees who spend a lot of time traveling, they will have available to them teletime (phone) as well as a mobile application where providing them with a license makes the most sense. In those instances where the mobile application is utilized, chief legal has instructed us this will not create a situation where the employee’s phone will be considered public record (the time keeping will be public record regardless of sign-in method).

6. Signing In and Out Web Application
Done via a computer connected to the ODOT network
The most common way for office employees or employees with an ODOT PC to sign in and out
Kronos has single sign on and there will not be a log in page
This is the primary means for office employees and employees that have an ODOT PC available to them to access Kronos. Employees will need to sign into the PC to get into Kronos. Once they log into the network, Kronos recognizes them as the person signed into the PC. All employees will be issued an account to sign into the ODOT network.

7. Employee Home Page
When an employee signs into Kronos, this will be the default screen they will see.

8. Employee Home Page Timecard
This is the timecard area where their time will be captured each day.
Timecard

9. Employee Home Page Totals
As time is entered into the timesheet area above, the Kronos application will automatically summarize the hours in the totals box below. The drop down box set to All can be changed to daily in order to view the daily detail information.

10. Employee Home Page Timestamp
Using the Record Timestamp button, employees can click the button and have Kronos sign them in or out for the day.
Timestamp

11. Employee Home Page Accrual Balances
The My Accrual Balances section will display the employee’s leave balances available to them for the various leaves types. It is important to note that the balances will be current or projected based upon the date in the As of field. If the date in the As of field is changed, the employee may need to click the refresh icon immediately to the right of the As of date field.

12. Employee Home Page Related Items
The Related Items pane provides additional functionality available to the employees. By clicking on one of the links in the Related Items pane, it will launch a new tab with additional features.

13. Click Record Timestamp
Signing In / Out
Click Record Timestamp
Once you are logged into your computer and have accessed Kronos, simply click the Record Timestamp button to sign in for the day.

14. Signing In / Out
Click Refresh for the time stamp to appear on time card
Confirmation of time stamp recorded
Once you have clicked the Record Timestamp button you will get a confirmation at the top of the My Timestamp box showing your time has been recorded. To see the time in your timesheet, simply click the Refresh button.

15. Time stamp recorded; do not need to click save
Signing In / Out
Time stamp recorded; do not need to click save
Now you will see that the timestamp time that was recorded is the same as the time showing in the timesheet. No need to click save (in fact, note that is greyed out and not available to click).

16. Signing In / Out Enter Time Manually
If by chance you either forget to click the Record Timestamp button at the end of the day, you can manually enter your time into the timesheet by double clicking in the out field and entering the time you left. The most important thing to note here is……when entering time into the out box, it is important to remember to place a P at the end of your time (no space) as the system defaults the time to AM unless the time is designated as PM with the letter P. You can also manually enter your sign-in time.

17. Signing In / Out
Once you click out of the box where you typed in the time, the save button enables.
Since the time was manually entered, you must click save for the timecard to be populated
Be sure to click SAVE if you have entered your time manually.

18. Signing In / Out
If you manually type in your time, the system will time stamp the entry.
Most important thing to note here, is that when an employee enters their time manually into the system, Kronos captures the actual time the employee makes the manual entry. In this slide it shows the employee entering their time as 7:00 am but doing so at 1:02 PM.
Date / Time and User who entered the in punch
Entered an in punch of 7:00 am for 7/20/13

19. Signing In / Out - Lunch
Everyone is defaulted to a 30 minute lunch deduction. If you take a 60 minute lunch let payroll know so they can move you to the appropriate lunch group.
If you take longer than your standard lunch, sign in and out to override your lunch.
You can cancel your lunch deduction and it will be sent to your manager for approval.
When everyone is initially loaded into Kronos, they will be defaulted to a 30 minute lunch. If an employee regularly takes a 60 minute punch, central office payroll will need to be notified in order to move them to the 60 minute lunch group. Kronos is not currently capable of providing anything except a 30 or 60 minute lunch group.
If an employee takes a lunch other then 30 or 60 minutes, they will simply need to sign out for lunch and sign back in once they return from lunch. This will cancel the 30 minute auto deduction and will only capture the time the employee works.
Any time an employee swipes out and in after they have swiped in for the day (like for a DR. appt), the lunch deduction will be cancelled. If the employee takes a lunch, they will need to swipe out and in for their lunch time on this day. Example, Bob comes in at 7:00 AM, leaves at 9:00 AM for an appt. Returns at 10:15 AM. At this point the lunch deduction is cancelled. He then takes lunch from 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM. Since his lunch deduction was cancelled, he must swipe out and back in for lunch on this day.
In a later slide we will show how an employee can cancel their lunch deduction for those days they work through their lunch with manager approval. The important thing to note here is their manager will be notified when the lunch is cancelled.

20. Cancelled Lunch
Kronos is programmed to automatically deduct lunch after 4 hours of work.
Employees working more than 4 hours who do not take a lunch will need to cancel the lunch deduction. This will then have to be approved by their manager.

21. Cancelled Lunch
Here is how an employee would go about cancelling their lunch deduction. After expanding the related items pane, they would click on My Timecard Audit Trail.

22. Cancelled Lunch
This will open the My Timecard Audit Trail view and take the employee into their time sheet. From here they can right click on the In or Out field and a pop up menu will appear. By selecting the edit punch option, the following screen will appear….(go to the next slide.)

23. Cancelled Lunch
In the Cancelled Deduction drop down menu, the employee will need to select the 30L Auto-Deduction (30 minute lunch) or the 60L Auto-Deduction (60 minute lunch). Once they have selected the appropriate option, they will simply click OK. (If they do not select the correct lunch deduction option, the system WILL NOT cancel their lunch deduction.)

24. Cancelled Lunch Click Save
Once they click OK it will bring them back to the My Timecard Audit Trail screen. From here the employee MUST click save for the lunch cancelation to be populated. Once they click save, their manager will receive a flag that the employee has cancelled their lunch. Notice the In box on Tuesday shows with a red outline. By hovering your mouse over the box, the cancelled deduction message appears indicating why the box has a red outline.
Click Save

25. Signing In / Out

26. Rounding
The system is set to round each individual punch to the nearest 10th of an hour
0 stays at 0
1, 2, or 3 rounds back
4 or 5 rounds forward
6 stays at 6
Kronos is structured to round both the in and out punch separately. Each punch will round according to the information on the slide.

27. Rounding Example: In at 6:58 AM, will round to 7:00 AM
Out at 3:29 PM, will round to 3:30 PM
Total of 8 hours
In at 7:05 AM, will round to 7:06 AM
Out at 3:33 PM, will round to 3:30 PM
Total of 7:54 hours
Kronos will still show your actual in and out times but will calculate total hours based on rounding
Read the examples listed above. Make sure to note that Kronos captures your actual time in and out but will use the rounding on each punch to calculate the total work time.

28. Rounding In Action
In At 6:58 AM

34. Rounding

35. Schedules
Kronos is programmed to auto-deduct a 30-minute (or 60-minute) lunch after more than 4.0 hours of work. Once an employee has worked 4.1 hours, his/her lunch will be auto-deducted (unless the time has been transferred to Report Back or Snow & Ice).
An employee’s lunch auto-deduction is NOT dependent on his/her schedule. It is dependent on the in and out punches.
Note: Everyone is defaulted to a 30-minute lunch auto-deduction. If you normally take a 60-minute lunch, let payroll know so they can move you to the appropriate lunch group.

36. Who Will Be on Schedules?
Each District or Division will determine whether other employees will be on a schedule.
All employees working in a garage or a county outpost will be assigned to a schedule. Employees working in an office setting may or may not have a schedule, depending on direction from their DD.

37. Schedules

38. Employee Overtime
Before an employee can be compensated for Overtime, the Overtime must be approved by the manager.
Approved overtime will default to paid
Employees can transfer the Overtime to Comp Time when they approve their timesheet.
The important item here is the employee will not see their OT on their time sheet and will not be able to move it to comp time until the manager has approved it. Overtime is not shown until the employee reaches their 40 or 80 hour threshold.

39. Employee has time in excess of 40 hours.
Employee Overtime
Employee has time in excess of 40 hours.
This slide shows where an employee has earned 3 hours of OT for the week but it has not yet been approved by their manager.

40. Overtime has been approved by manager.
Employee Overtime
Overtime has been approved by manager.
Once the manager has approved the OT, it shows in the summary box at the bottom of the timesheet as OVTHR. This is for an OT eligible employee working 40 hours a week. Once the OT has been approved, the employee will be able to move the OT to comp time if they choose.

41. Overtime

42. Approving Timecard
Each employee must approve their timecard by 10:00 AM on the Monday after payday.
If you need to make changes after approving your timecard, see your manager
After the employee approves their timecard, it will go to the Manager for final approval before being sent to Central Office Payroll

43. Approving Employee Timecard
Prior to approving your timecard be sure to review all punches for the pay period, make sure your overtime has been approved, and if necessary move any overtime to comptime.
Review Daily In and Out

44. Approving Timecard Review Totals
Review the totals at the bottom to see if they’re what you expect them to be. To change to see this day by day, select Daily from the drop down box defaulted to All. Then click on day in the timesheet and the totals will change for that day.

45. Approving Timecard Click More
In order to approve your time sheet, you must click the More button at the top of the time sheet.

46. When ready, Click Approve

Now you can see this timecard has been placed in an approved state.

48. Approving Timecard
Once an employee has approved his or her timecard, they cannot make any more changes.
If the employee tries to make any changes to the timecard while it is in an approved state they will get an error message similar to the one listed here.

49. Approving Your Timecard

50. Time Off Requests
Time off requests are submitted by the employee and sent to their manager for approval.
In the Future: I want to take November 25th – 29th off.
- OR -
For a day in the past: I took a personal day Monday
Time off requests can be entered into the system for both future and past dates. In the following slides, we’ll demonstrate how an employee would enter a Time Off Request for the week of November 25th.

84. Retract /Cancel A Time Off Request
To retract the request, click on the request and select Retract
In Kronos we have two options for “withdrawing” a TOR:
1.) Retract
2.) Cancel
Retract is used when the TOR has not yet been Approved by your manager; Cancel is used when the TOR has been Approved by your manager. If a TOR is Retracted, the manager does not have to take any action; if a TOR needs to be Cancelled, the manager has to approve the cancellation.
The screenshot above shows the Retract option being used, as the TOR has not been Approved. Had the TOR been Approved, you would see Cancel rather than Retract. Retracted and Cancelled TORs will still show on the calendar view.
