### "Processing and Using Workforce Ready"

August 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that you can conform the program to do even the most complicated needs of the company. The ease for the employees to use and see what they have invested in the company they work for. They can see all the benefits and a click of a button. The reports are amazing you can create all you need to keep the flow going. This is by far the best payroll program I have seen in the 20 + years I have worked here.

Cons

It would be nice to be able to put alerts in certain places for items not done for an employee. Other than that I can't think of anything at this time.

### "Struggle"

October 26, 2017

3.0

Understanding of the complexity of legacy systems

Pros

Universal system that has legacy in the market. They have a strong reputation and know their way around HR platforms. Managers and help desk associates are attentive and they do have a process for escalation.

Cons

Kronos is trying to get to the cloud and has bolted on products. Support is a struggle for any legacy products.

### "Overall user friendly for all staff to be able to use. "

December 17, 2018

5.0

I would recommend the product to others who are looking for a new updated pay system.

Pros

The software basically manages itself so there is very minimally you have to do to manage it. The system works with very short update periods.

Cons

Sometimes the biometrics have a hard time reading finger prints for some staff members. We then turn off the options to accommodate those employees.

### "Powerful and Advanced System"

May 11, 2018

4.0

I would recommend this to other clients, but would recommend doing 1 phase at a time. We tried to do 3 at one time and it was way too overwhelming and our timeline that we wanted in completed in was unrealistic.

Pros

This program offers so much good information, but can be difficult to find what your looking for and set up. The customer service help is awesome and is always willing to help get things the way you want.

Cons

The accruals portion needs some updates. They do not recognize future time off and give incorrect error messages. The mobile app for clocking in/out needs some updates- does not seem to work for all employees, but does for most. The set up process if very involved, but worth it in the end.

December 13, 2019

Pros

Cons

Not ease to adjust time for employees when clocks were off or power went out.

### "Kronos WFR makes job easier"

December 5, 2018

5.0

I recommend Kronos WFR to anyone with a large number of employees.

Pros

Kronos WFR has made timekeeping a breeze. My payroll goes so much smoother now that we use Work Force Ready.

Cons

The only complaint I would have is the lag time Kronos Work Force Ready gets about once every week or two. However, i will say Kronos is quick to respond that they are working on the problem.

### "Easy managing of your entire workforce"

September 29, 2018

4.0

We use this system to distill the whole process of paying all employees to a total of two mouse clicks.

Pros

I have not had any experience with setting up this application, since it was already in place when I started. This application is mostly used for HR/finance purposes and manages everything related to employees' benefits (salary, paid time off, etc.). You can set up report templates with auto-filled in details, which makes the work of completing a form easy and straight-forward. This is one of those tools that you can continuously keep improving and expanding its scope.

Cons

The training period before a new person is comfortable with the software is quite steep, primarily because the system is very extensive. Although I have to say, once you know your way around, the interface is intuitive.

### "Kronos Review"

February 14, 2017

5.0

Kronos has been a wonderful improvement over our prior Paychex product. The functionality is awesome.

Pros

Reporting is the best.

Cons

How to documentation. Step by step basic instructions with screen shots would be nice for ACA.

### "Kronos- Ascension"

November 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

We use this payroll system at Ascension Health. Works well with punching in as a time clock system for hourly employees

Cons

Wish the punch in was done by when you sign in and out of computer. Difficult to cancel staff pto time if they change days off. Schedule on phones should have different color scenes or dots for differentiating pto and holiday

### "Kronos Workforce Ready (or not)"

February 27, 2019

3.0

Pros

Kronos is an established name in the industry for workforce management software. They have a good reputation and the basic functionality is there.

Cons

I believe the user interface is antiquated, and it doesn't flow nicely. There are other more modern products on the market that provide a better user experience.

Cons

Nothing. I have zero complaints so far.

July 25, 2017

3.0

Pros

it is convenient to have all employee information in one spot. Open enrollment for our benefits is easy with Kronos.

Cons

Once you have left the implementation stage it is very difficult to get a quick response if you need t o make adjustments or changes to your settings.

### "Ease of use, portable"

March 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that Kronos offers a mobile application. The layout is good. When logged into the application on my phone, all menus I need are easily accessible. I don't have to spend time clicking around to find what I need. I also like the format and ease of printing schedules. The paper format is easy to read and is easy to print. I have also worked with customer support and this experience was fairly painless and was able to remedy any issues.

Cons

The mobile application as well as the computer version can sometimes lag or timeout. When using the scheduling feature on the computer, set scheduled days do not always show up on the mobile application.

### "Solid Software but not the best for small businesses. "

November 24, 2023

3.0

Pros

I use this at my primary place of employment and have for years. It's a big company within an even bigger corporation so for them it's incredibly important to keeping things running smooth when it comes to the human resource department.

Cons

It was just too much for my small business. It also did not integrate with our other already installed interfaces.

August 20, 2018

3.0

You are not able to manipulate the standard reports.

Pros

The implementation process didn't require too many hands to get completed. Minimal IT involvement and our account manager was awesome.

Cons

Since the account managers don't receive credit until after a module has been completely setup there was a deadline as to when we needed to have them completed by.

### "Kronos"

April 26, 2019

3.0

Pros

The only positive thing I have to say is that I could log in with a badge, but that's about it.

Cons

I hated using this system where I worked. I feel like it failed 50% of the time logging people in. We had a sheet we would have to sign just to make sure it logged our hours correctly, which it did not.

### "Overall it helps to record all the employees information. It makes it easy to track some information that is already there."

October 3, 2017

4.0

Pros

Love the fact all the evaluations are done electronically and do not need to make copies of everything. Very helpful.

Cons

To many steps to get to the employees profile. I wish they could be less steps so you don't have to go many times same way.
