Kronos Quick Time Stamp

Message from the Kronos Team:

After you have logged in and familiarized yourself with Kronos’ functionality, you can use this separate link for Quick Punches. This link does not provide all of the capabilities of the self service, but it is a shortcut to perform simple punches quickly and easily. If you are experiencing slow response time from the regular link, you may find this link helpful. This is for your convenience only; it is not required.

KRONOS - Begins 8.20.11

HPL will begin using the Kronos timekeeping system tomorrow. This means that all non-exempt staff will need to clock in and out using the system in order to get paid.
In addition, non-exempt staff will also need to clock in and out for lunch breaks.

As a reminder, the address to log on to Kronos is: https://coh.kronoshosting.com/wfc/logon

We have placed resources, including a user guide, a training PowerPoint, and a cheat sheet for supervisors, here on the Neighborhood Libraries Blog. This information is at the top of the column on the right-hand side of the blog.

We will be sharing additional information as we learn more about questions and issues that emerge during our first week of Kronos. Please do not hesitate to contact me, your supervisor, or any team leader with any questions or issues you may encounter as we make this transition.
